NACHOS CASSEROLE
This recipe is from an old Kellogg Company advertisement. I found this on a cut-out from what looks to be an old magazine. It was in my late mother's old recipe box.
1 cup chunky taco sauce
1 can (4-oz) green chilies, chopped
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1 cup refried beans
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup water
4 cups corn flakes cereal
chopped tomatoes, optional
sour cream, optional
chopped green onions, optional
sliced black olives, optional
In a small bowl, combine taco sauce and chilies; set aside.
In a large frying pan, cook ground beef and onions until meat is browned. Drain off the drippings. Add cumin, beans, half the cheese, half the taco sauce mixture, and water. Pour half the corn flakes into a lightly greased 12 x 7 1/2 x 2-inch (2-qt) baking dish. Cover with the meat mixture. Top with remaining taco sauce mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining corn flakes.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 25 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake just until the cheese melts. Garnish with chopped tomatoes, sour cream, chopped green onions and sliced black olives, if desired.
Yield: 6 servings
Enjoy!
