Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 15-ounce can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 10-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 cup tortilla chips, crushed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a wooden spoon, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Mix in the taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to evenly coat the beef mixture.
Add the black beans, pinto beans, and diced tomatoes with green chilies to the skillet. Stir well to combine, then reduce heat to low.
In a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth.
Transfer the beef and bean mixture to a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on top.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Top with the crushed tortilla chips for added crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy with additional tortilla chips or a side salad, if desired.
