Walking Taco Casserole
This recipe was borrowed from a friend's Facebook page, but the ingredient list was somewhat vague on quantities. So, I did what a lot of cooks do - I improvised.

- 1 1/2 pound ground beef (lean)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cans green chilies, chopped (4 1/2 oz each)
- 2 cans enchilada sauce (10 oz each)
- 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 large bag of corn chips, divided
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a large skillet, add ground beef and onion and cook over medium-high heat until meat is browned. Drain off excess grease.
Add chilies, enchilada sauce, and cream cheese to meat and mix well. Reduce heat to medium and cook 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a 9 x 13 casserole dish, place a layer of corn chips on the bottom. Spoon half of the meat mixture over the chips, spreading it evenly across the dish. Spread 1 cup of the shredded cheese evenly over the meat mixture. Repeat the layers of corn chips and meat, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.
