  CORN CHIP CASSEROLE

 You will need:

 2 cans of chili, with or without beans

*I like to use Chili without Beans and add one Can of Red Kidney Beans (drained & rinsed)

1 can corn drained…..or you can use 1 1/4 cups of frozen corn

1/2 lb. hamburger cooked & drained of any grease.
 Season the Beef with salt, pepper, onion powder and Taco Seasoning to your taste.
*optional:  I add about 3 Tablespoons of Salsa to the Ground Beef as well.
2 cups grated cheddar cheese or Mexican Cheddar
Fritos corn chips
Optional items: olives, chilies, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce.

 *Directions:

 Mix chili, cooked and Seasoned hamburger & corn together in a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup grated cheese, and stir well. You can also add olives, green chilies & diced tomatoes to this mixture, if desired. Transfer this to a 9×13 inch glass dish. Top with the rest of the grated cheese & slightly crushed corn chips. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Serve on a bed of shredded lettuce & diced tomatoes if desired. I like to serve this with garlic bread, and a nice green salad instead. So Yummy & super easy!

*If I’m using this for Taco Salads, I omit the Corn Chips on the top before Baking.  That way, you can place this mixture on top of Lettuce in a Crispy Shell, add toppings like Cheese, Olives, Sunflower Seeds, Tomatoes, crushed corn chips, etc.
