Cooking Instructions

  • Start by turning your oven to 350°F so it's ready when your casserole needs that bake at the end.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon canola oil in your pressure cooker or a skillet over medium heat. Toss in your ground beef with chopped onion and cook till that beef is browned and the onions get soft. Drain any fat so the casserole doesn't get greasy.
  • Stir in the taco seasoning so it coats everything well. Add the diced tomatoes and green chiles with juice, pinto beans, and corn. Let it cook for 5 minutes, stirring sometimes to mix flavors.
  • Grab a 9x13 inch baking dish and start layering. Spread half the corn chips down first. Pour half the beef mixture over it and sprinkle half the cheese on top.
  • Repeat layering with the rest of the chips, beef mixture, and cheese so you get three layers total.
  • Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes till cheese is bubbly and melted.
  • Let it stand for 5 minutes after you pull it out before digging in.
