Walking Taco Casserole

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook the beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess grease.
3. Add seasoning: Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
4. Mix in Rotel and beans (if using). Stir well and let cook for 2 minutes.
5. Layer the casserole:
   • In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spread half of the crushed chips.
   • Pour the beef mixture over the chips.
   • Spread sour cream and salsa evenly over the top.
   • Sprinkle with shredded cheeses.
6. Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Top and serve: Sprinkle the remaining crushed chips over the casserole. Garnish with lettuce, tomatoes, black olives, and green onions.
8. Enjoy! Serve with extra sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
