May 21, Beef Taco Bake Recipe

This Beef Taco Bake Recipe is extremely easy to throw together and yet so tasty a taco bake that your family will want it over and over.

The zing from the chilis really perks up the dish.

Beef Taco Bake RecipeIngredients

1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, drained
1/2 cup water
1 cup sour cream
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
8 ounces shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
1 (18 ounce) package corn tortilla chips

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and drain the fat. Add the diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, water, sour cream and taco seasoning mix. Let the mixture simmer for 5 to 10 minutes to blend the flavors.

In the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish, place a layer of tortilla chips. Cover the chips with a layer of the meat mixture then a layer of cheese. Repeat this process until the last layer is cheese.

Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly.

Like I said the zing from the chilis really perks up this dish but for a milder version you could use plain-diced tomatoes.

Either way your family will love it and it's so easy it will become your go to dish when time is short and dinner is due.
