Easy, Cheesy Ground Beef Taco Casserole Recipe Is a Family Favorite by Ann Marie G. Halstead

If you're looking for an easy casserole recipe the whole family will love, it doesn't get much better than this cheesy taco casserole. It's a family favorite! The walking taco casserole and our beef taco casserole were so popular that I thought I'd share another Mexican-inspired ground beef casserole recipe with our community. This easy casserole recipe has seasoned ground beef, nutritious black beans, sweet corn and crunchy chips. The corn adds even more crunch and a little sweetness.

The super tasty, gluten-free ground beef taco casserole is made with lean ground beef, onion, green onions, taco seasoning, enchilada sauce, black beans, whole kernel corn, corn chips and a Mexican cheese blend. Everything bakes together in the oven until hot and bubbly. Wow!

Serve this easy casserole recipe with a dollop of sour cream and guacamole for a complete dinner the whole family will enjoy. So easy and delicious!

Ingredients

• 1 pound lean (at least 80%) ground beef
• 1 cup chopped onions
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 1 ounce (1 packet) taco seasoning mix (I like low-sodium taco seasoning)
• 2/3 cup water
• 19 ounces (1 can) enchilada sauce
• 15 ounces (1 can) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 14 ounces (1 can) whole kernel corn, drained 
• 9.25 ounces (1 bag) corn chips or tortilla chips (about 5 1/2 cups)
• 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
• sour cream (optional topping)
• guacamole (optional topping)

Recipe Notes

• To spice it up, add some fresh jalapenos or crushed red pepper flakes.

• Instead of Mexican cheese blend, you can try this recipe with cheddar or another favorite cheese.

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave.

Here's how to make it: 

1. In a nonstick skillet, cook beef and onions over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until brown. Drain. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Heat to boiling then reduce heat to medium. Simmer, uncovered, 3 to 4 minutes or until thickened. Stir in black beans, corn and enchilada sauce. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until heated through.
2. Place 4 cups of the corn chips in a single layer in a 13x9-inch baking dish that's been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Top with 1 cup of shredded cheese. Spoon beef mixture over cheese, then top with remaining 1 cup cheese.
3. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven 18 to 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and edges are bubbly. Top with remaining corn chips and the green onions. Serve with sour cream and guacamole, if desired.
