Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • 1 package Taco Seasoning ⅔ Cup Water
  • 1 Large bag Chili Cheese Fritos You can use plain Fritos as well
  • ½ Can Campbell’s Cheddar Cheese Soup
  • ¼ Cup Whole Milk
  • 1 Cup Mozzarella Cheese Shredded

Instructions
 

  • Add butter to a saucepan and brown the ground beef you're planning to use over medium-high heat. Allowing the beef to brown will add significant flavor to this tex mex dinner later on. Drain the beef's grease accordingly.
  • Add in taco seasoning and water once the beef has been browned and the grease has been drained or soaked up with the use of a paper towel.
  • Simmer on low to allow the taco seasoning to become absorbed into the meat. Carefully watch as this action takes place so you know when it's time to move forward.
  • Layer your Fritos in the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish. This will become the base of your taco bake or walking taco casserole.
  • Top the Fritos (bottom layer) with the meat you've cooked and seasoned.
  • In another saucepan, add the milk and cheddar cheese and simmer over low heat. Avoid cooking this on high heat, as the milk and cheese may not blend well together.
  • Pour the soup mixture over the meat once it is blended and warmed.
  • Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top of the mixture. You can use your preferred cheeses during this stage.
  • Place into your oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-14 minutes, or until warmed through and until the cheese has melted.
  • Remove from your oven and allow your casserole to cool. Serve and enjoy!
