Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb lean ground beef
2 c salsa
1 (16-oz) can chili beans, drained
1 (15-oz) can corn
1 1/2 c tortilla chips, crushed
2 c low-fat sour cream
1 (3 7/8-oz) can sliced black olives, drained
3/4 c chopped green onion
1 c diced tomato (you can use a 15-oz can of diced tomatoes if drained well)
2 c shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
  • 2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef until no longer pink. Stir in salsa, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed. Stir in beans and corn, and cook just until heated through.
  • 3. Spread crushed tortilla chips in bottom of prepared baking dish, and then spoon beef mixture over chips. Spread sour cream over the beef layer, and then sprinkle olives, green onion, and tomato over the sour cream layer.

This casserole is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the cheesy sauce and the chicken, and they don't even notice the vegetables.
