Over the years I’ve tweaked this recipe to end up with a wonderful, quick weeknight meal. Feel free to spice it up with jalapenos, if you prefer a little more heat. &mdash;Joan Hallford, North Richland Hills, Texas

Cheesy Fiesta Beef Casserole

beef

onion,

(15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained

picante sauce

chili powder

(10-1/2 ounces) reduced-fat reduced-sodium condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted

(10 ounces) diced tomatoes and green chiles, undrained

(4 ounces) chopped green chiles

(9-3/4 ounces) nacho-flavored tortilla chips

cheddar cheese

Monterey Jack cheese

Cubed avocado and sour cream

This was a hit in my house! I did make some modifications that I think worked better for us. First I used regular chips, so instead of just chili powder, I seasoned my beef as I would taco meat. I also added picante sauce to the soup mixture instead of just the beef and beans mixture, and I baked instead of microwaving at 375° for about 30 minutes, until it was bubbling on the edges. Served with extra chips and sour cream, it was delicious!

Excellent! I used some of the modifications of others like using a packet taco seasoning. I also used kidney beans in place of black beans. I only had plain tortilla chips and thought it had great flavor because of the taco seasoning. I also didn’t use Rotel and used separate cans of green chiles and tomatoes. Will definitely make it again! Has anyone frozen this before?

I love this recipe! Instead of nacho flavored chips I used Fritos. I also added back olives like other reviewers. I will definitely make this again. Thank you for sharing

Very good! I don’t cook in the microwave, so baked it at 375 degrees for about an hour or so til bubbly. I also garnished with chopped cilantro. Definitely, use the nacho flavored tortilla chips for maximum flavor! Yum!

Used plain tortilla chips and based on a comment about it being bland, I swapped the chili powder for 2 Tbsp Mexican seasoning blend (1 packet of you're not using home made). The flavor and textures were good and my husband went back for seconds. I used medium picante sauce and it still needed more heat so I would use pickled jalapenos next time. Good recipe and easily customizable.

It was awesome! Only changes I made was instead of chili powder & added 1 pkg. taco seasoning mix to add a bit more spice & baked it in a 350* oven for 15 minutes until the cheese melted. Topped it with diced avocado for a creamier finish. Definitely a keeper.

This was easy to make and turned out yummy though I used what I had on hand: 1/2 a 15 oz can of pinto instead of black beans; an extra onion and two Roma tomatoes, chopped; one zucchini chopped and a can of Italian tomatoes rinsed really well. Also added 4 slices of mild cheddar cheese on top at the end since I was low on the cheese. A couple shakes of garlic salt on top at the end. Yum!! My girls (14 and 17) loved it too!

Made the recipe as is and it was delicious!  Whole family loved it!  I prepared it in a 9x13 glass dish and it all fits perfectly! I also heated it in the oven. 350 for about 15 minutes.

This dish was awesome. I didn't have the two cheeses on hand, so I used a Mexican blend instead. I used a can of Rotel for the tomatoes and green chillies and added 1 cup of 505 green chillies which gave it an added kick. My husband said I could make this dish every night.  Will definitely make it again.

I used plain tortilla chips and found it to be a little bland.   I wound make again with more spice and the nacho chips.   Easy to make on a tight schedule.

Very Good and an easy way to use a pound of meat.  I added additional chili powder, salt and chopped cilantro -

The first time I made this I liked it so much I wanted to lick the dish       The first time I made this I liked it so much I wanted to lick the dish! Followed the recipe exactly, and two weeks later I'm making it again. Definitely something I will make frequently.

Fab recipe.  I make this for my hubby and me but as it makes a lot I share with my neighbors and they all love it.  I never have to worry about left overs.  Didn't change anything, no need as it is so good.  Did use the nacho-flavored chips which definitely added to overall goodness.  I don't microwave much so did bake in the oven.  Just a personal preference.

Made with Dorito/salsa tortilla chips and medium picante sauce, I personally thought this was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband thought it was worth making again. The next time I will try it with plain tortilla chips (a recipe option) and perhaps a little less chili powder.

Black olives would really be good in this. Good flavor.
