Delicious Loaded Beef Nacho Bake

This Loaded Beef Nacho Bake features layers of seasoned ground beef, tortilla chips, and melted cheese baked to perfection. It takes about 40 minutes to prepare and serves 6 people.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, diced
1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade equivalent)
2 cups tortilla chips
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup diced tomatoes with green chilies
1/2 cup sliced black olives (optional)
1/4 cup chopped green onions for garnish
Sour cream and guacamole for serving (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion until soft. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat and stir in taco seasoning according to package instructions.
Layer the Bake: In a 9×13 inch baking dish, layer half of the tortilla chips on the bottom. Spread half of the cooked beef mixture over the chips, then add half of the black beans, half of the diced tomatoes, and half of the cheese. Repeat the layering process with the remaining chips, beef, beans, tomatoes, and cheese.
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
