Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 Yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 0.5 cup Water
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can Diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel), drained
- 1 cup Frozen corn kernels, thawed
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 1 bag Tostito Scoops chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up into crumbles with a spatula.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the beef mixture, then add the water. Stir well and let simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese until fully melted and creamy.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and corn to the skillet. Mix well until evenly combined and the cheese is melted.
Transfer the meat and cheese mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Top the mixture with Tostito Scoops chips, arranging them in a single layer to cover the hot dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the chips are lightly browned and crispy.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped cilantro, if desired.
Serve the dish hot, straight from the baking dish. Scoop it up with extra Tostito Scoops or enjoy as is!
