Taco Casserole

This is a wonderfully easy dish and my kids just eat it up!
I serve it with homemade ranch dip but you could just use sour cream and it would be great. Served with a side of pinto beans ( in Texas we use Ranch Style Beans ) and a salad your good to go!

Taco Casserole
1 pound ground beef
3/4 Cup Pace Picante Sauce, extra chunky(this also eliminates having to add onions and bell peppers saving time)
1 pkg taco sauce
1/2 cup water
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, or monterey jack blend would work great
1/2 bag tortilla chips, we use Santinos
1 can fat free cream of mushroom soup

Saute hamburger and then add taco seasoning, water and pace and cook down the liquid. Stir in soup and turn off heat.

Spray 8x8 pan with Pam and crush chips and cover the bottom. Layer meat and then add cheese. Repeat one more time and then you will have cheese on the top. Spray the top of the foil that you will use to cover it with Pam.

Bake at 400 for 20 minutes until cheese is melted and dish is bubbly.
