Kristi's Taco Casserole

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 1 onion(s), finely diced
• 500 g minced meat, mixed
• 200 ml water
• 1 gr. can/n vegetables, (Bonduelle Texas Mix) or one can each of corn, beans and peppers
• 1 pack of chili powder (Fuego Seasoning)
• 1 jar sauce (salsa – I usually use hot)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 3 tomatoes, diced
• 1 pack of chips (Taco chips – Wild Paprika from Chio)
• 1 pack of cheese (grated cheese)

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 45 minutes

Preheat oven to 200°C (the casserole goes back in the oven briefly at the end so that the cheese melts). Brown the minced meat and then briefly fry the onions. Add 200 ml water, chili powder, the drained vegetables and salsa and bring to a boil. Simmer gently for about 10 minutes; it should not be very runny at the end. Pour the mixture into a casserole dish and spread the sour cream on top, then dice the tomatoes and scatter them on top. Sprinkle the chips on top and finally sprinkle the cheese over the mixture and put everything in the oven until the cheese has melted. We always eat it with baguette. Tip: It’s also great for preparing ahead of time if you stop it from simmering, reheat it shortly before eating and then pour it into the casserole dish. It should be warm when you pour it into the casserole dish, as everything only goes in the oven for a very short time and otherwise the chips could burn.
