List of Ingredients
1½ pounds lean ground beef (chuck or round)
1 cup chopped onion
1 10-3/4oz can cream of mushroom soup
1 10-3/4oz can cream of chicken soup
1 10oz can Rotel tomatos (the diced kind)
½ of a 14oz package of plain corn tortilla chips, crushed
1 cup grated cheddar cheese (or cojak cheese)
1 4½oz can sliced black olives
a few sliced jalapeno peppers (optional)
Recipe
Brown the ground beef and drain in a bowl lined with paper towels. Set aside. Sauté onions for five minutes in a little olive or vegetable oil. (You can use the same skillet). Combine soups and Rotel in a saucepan over low heat. You may add a few sliced, pickled jalapeno peppers to the soup mixture at this point if you like it hot. Spread crushed tortilla chips evenly in the bottom of a 9" x 13" glass baking dish. Combine the cooked ground beef with the onions and spread evenly over crushed tortilla chips. Spread soup mixture over ground beef. Top with grated cheese and sliced olives. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until cheese melts and casserole bubbles around the edges. Great for parties. Reheats well in the microwave.
