Cowboy Casserole

I was searching for another version of Cowboy Casserole and came across the cute blog Simply Texas.

We've lived in Texas for a little while now and I've learned a few things. The dish may classify as Texas Eats if it meets the following:

* More meat, more cheese
* Use what you have on hand
* Huge quantity
* Comfort food

Ingredients: 
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1/2 onion, diced
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can RoTel tomatoes
Tortilla chips, crushed
Cheddar cheese, grated
Salt and pepper, to taste
Shredded lettuce
Sour Cream
Franks Red Hot

Directions: 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray medium size baking dish.

Season and cook ground beef and onions. Grate cheddar cheese. Drain and place in mixing bowl. Add cream of mushroom soup and Ro Tel tomatoes. Crush tortilla chips covering the bottom of the baking dish. Layer half of the meat mixture and top with cheese. Create another layer of crushed tortilla chips followed by  the remaining meat mixture and topped with cheese. Bake for 10-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly.

Plate casserole and top with shredded lettuce, sour cream, and Franks Red Hot sauce, as desired.
