To make this casserole, I started by dumping some lean ground beef into a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
I added some diced onions to the pan with the ground beef.
I crumbled the ground beef well as it cooked.
When the ground beef was fully cooked, I drained the grease from the pan.
Then I added some water, taco seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder to the pan.
I stirred until all of the ground beef was coated in the taco seasoning.
I left the mixture to continue cooking over medium-high heat until no liquid remained in the pan.
Then I dumped the ground beef mixture into a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
I sprinkled some Fritos corn chips on top of the ground beef.
Then I sprinkled some shredded nacho cheese blend on top of the corn chips.
I placed the baking dish in the oven and baked the casserole until the cheese on top was completely melted and just starting to brown.
I removed the casserole from the oven and sprinkled some shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes on top.
Then the cheesy ground beef casserole was ready to serve.
This simple casserole recipe has all the flavours of beef tacos in one dish.
