A delicious and easy-to-make casserole that combines the flavors of nachos with a creamy, cheesy twist.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the diced onion and taco seasoning, and cook until the onion is softened.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chilies, and sour cream.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well combined.
In a baking dish, layer half of the nacho chips, half of the beef mixture, half of the creamy mixture, and half of the shredded cheese. Repeat the layers.
Press down gently on each layer to compact the casserole slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove, top with additional cheese, and bake for another 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving to set the layers.
Serve the casserole warm, garnished with fresh cilantro or a dollop of guacamole if desired.
Pair with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
