Mom's Casserole

This next recipe is one my mom makes.  It's a really good tasting casserole that is quick and simple; everyone needs to know how to make it.  This is one of those great recipes to prepare when you don't have a lot of extra time to waste on running to the grocery store to get the ingredients you need.  Most of the ingredients are something you already have on hand, so it doesn't take a lot of time to concoct.  Basically, you just have to throw the ingredients together on this one, bake it and enjoy.  I hope you find this one to be a keeper.  Enjoy.

Mom's Casserole

1 lb ground beef
1 onion
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 can of pinto beans
1 can of corn
1 small can of tomato sauce
tortilla chips
shredded mozzarella, cheddar, colby or mexican blend cheese

Cook ground beef and onion in skillet.  Drain if any excess grease.  Add the taco seasoning, pinto beans and tomato sauce to the ground beef mixture and stir.  Next add 3 large hand fulls of tortilla chips and mix gently in the skillet, then place all the ingredients into your baking dish.  Top with as much cheese as you want.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes.  Double the recipe if you are serving more than 4 people.

Other options for the dish:
1) If you like it really spicy and chunky, you could replace the can of tomato sauce with a can of rotel.
2) You can also replace the tortilla chips with fritos, either one works.
