Taco Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F.

  3. While ground beef is cooking, place crushed Fritos into the bottom of an 8×8 baking dish.

  5. Spread bean mixture over the Fritos in the baking pan.
  6. Spread ground beef mixture over the beans.
  7. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup of cheese over the beef mixture.
  8. Bake for approximately 15 minutes as all ingredients are already cooked and hot, you are primarily just melting your cheese.
  9. Remove from oven and serve with assorted toppings

Toppings

  1. Tint sour cream with blue food coloring until desired color is reached. Place sour cream, along with other ingredients, into individual round ramekins. 1 cup / 4″ round sized ramekins work perfectly. Arrange toppings with the blue sour cream, black olives and red tomatoes on top, and the yellow corn chips (or cheese) and green lettuce on the bottom for serving.
