Description

A cheesy, Tex-Mex-inspired twist on the classic! It’s got seasoned beef, Rotel tomatoes, crispy taco shells and melty cheddar all baked into an easy one pan meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz lean ground beef
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 (10 oz) can Rotel
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 (4.9 oz) package of crispy taco shells (12 shells)
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350° F.
  2. Heat an oven safe skillet (I used my cast iron skillet*) over medium high heat. Add in the beef and break it up. Add in the onions and green pepper. Brown for 5 minutes. Drain off excess grease.
  3. Stir in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder and cumin to season the beef.
  4. Turn heat to low. Stir in the Rotel and cream of chicken. Break up the taco shells and stir them in along with 1 cup of the cheese. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
