Walking Taco Casserole
Walking Taco Casserole with beef, cream cheese, green chilis & corn chips baked into a cheesy, crunchy, family‑friendly meal.
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs ground beef
- 1 cup onion chopped
- 3 oz cream cheese
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 can green chilis
- 2 ‑3 cups Fritos corn chips
- 1 cup shredded taco‑blend cheese
- 1 Roma tomato chopped
- 1 ‑2 cups shredded lettuce
- Salsa and sour cream for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven & Cook Meat
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In an oven‑safe skillet or pan, cook ground beef and chopped onion over medium‑high heat until beef is browned and onion is softened. Drain off excess grease if needed.
Step 2: Add Seasoning & Cream Cheese
- Stir in taco seasoning and green chilis. Then add the cream cheese, mixing until it’s melted and fully incorporated into the beef mixture.
Step 3: Layer Chips & Cheese
- Sprinkle or spread the corn chips over the beef‑cream cheese mixture. Top with the shredded taco‑blend cheese so it covers evenly.
Step 4: Bake
- Place the skillet or transfer to a baking dish if needed. Bake for about 20 minutes until cheese is melted and the top is bubbly.
Step 5: Finish with Fresh Toppings
- Remove from oven, top with chopped Roma tomato and shredded lettuce. Garnish with salsa and sour cream. Serve hot.
