Ingredients
For the casserole:
1 lb lean ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 (10 oz) can Ro-Tel tomatoes (with green chilies)
1 (15 oz) can Ranch Style beans
1 packet taco seasoning
1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat once cooked.
-
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
-
Stir in the taco seasoning, Ro-Tel tomatoes with green chilies, Ranch Style beans, and cream of chicken soup. Mix until well combined and heated through.
-
Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
-
Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes or until the casserole is bubbling and hot.
-
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Add shredded cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking for extra cheesiness.
If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with sautéed mushrooms or vegetables.
To spice it up, add sliced jalapeños or chili powder.
You can layer in some cooked rice for a heartier dish.
