Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the beef and sprinkle with the chili powder, cumin, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat into smaller pieces, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the onions and garlic and cook until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes more. Add the beans, salsa and 1/2 cup water and bring to a simmer; cook until the sauce thickens and coats the meat, about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. (This beef-and-bean mixture can be made up to a day ahead of time.)
- Lay half the tortilla chips on the bottom of the oiled casserole dish. Spread half the meat mixture on top. Sprinkle half the cheese blend over the meat. Repeat with the remaining chips, meat and cheese. Bake uncovered until the cheese melts and the casserole is hot, about 20 minutes.
- Top with sour cream, lettuce, tomato, avocado and pickled jalapenos if desired. Serve with more salsa and tortilla chips on the side.

BEAN-AND-BEEF ENCHILADA CASSEROLE
I expanded slightly on a recipe in BH&G Make-Ahead Cooking (more ground beef, more cheese, added salt and pepper). We all really enjoyed this. I think it would also be good with chicken. Note: The original recipe didn't indicate the measurements of the baking dish--I would recommend something smaller than 9x12 with higher sides like a lasagna pan.

JEFF'S GREEN BEAN AND BEEF CRESCENT ROLL CASSEROLE
My husband's friend, Jeff, described this ground beef and crescent roll recipe to us over the phone and we just had to try it. He sent us his recipe and we tweaked it a bit to suit our tastes. It's an easy one-dish meal that's made complete with a simple salad. Our favorite part of the original recipe that we received was the last line that said "eat the whole dish and take a nap!"

Tips:
- Choose the right type of ground beef. For this recipe, a lean ground beef (85% lean or higher) is best.
- Don't overcook the beef. Overcooked beef will be tough and dry.
- Use a variety of beans. This will add flavor and texture to the casserole.
- Use a flavorful salsa. A salsa with a medium heat level is a good choice.
- Don't be afraid to add your own spices. A little bit of chili powder, cumin, or garlic powder can really enhance the flavor of the casserole.
- Serve the casserole with your favorite toppings. Shredded cheese, sour cream, and guacamole are all popular choices.
