Creamy Beef and Green Chili Casserole

Creamy-Beef-and-Green-Chile-Casserole-6Oh. my. goodness. I am so in love with this Creamy Beef and Green Chili Casserole. All I did was make a couple minor changes to a recipe my mom used to make a lot when I was a kid and BOOM BABY, it’s sooooooo delicious!

When I was a kid my mom made a casserole with beef green chili’s and corn tortillas. I can still remember watching her tear tortillas into pieces.

Because of how much my family loves these Mexican Casserole and Chicken Black Bean Chilaquiles recipes, I knew they would like that kind of casserole but I thought I would try switching out the corn tortillas for some corn tortilla chips. Good decision. Very good decision. I also made a couple other tiny changes like adding a little extra cheese, some garlic salt and oregano.

Creamy-Beef-and-Green-Chile-Casserole-6The end result is amazing and shockingly, was even better the second day. Now those were leftovers are worth fighting over. This easy dinner is definitely going on my short list of favorite weeknight dinners.

Did I mention it is sooooo simple to put together. All you need is a pound and a half of ground beef, a chopped onion, a can of cream of chicken soup, a can of diced green chili’s, garlic salt, oregano, black pepper, cheese and corn chips.

Creamy-Beef-and-Green-Chile-Casserole-6You start by browning the ground beef with the onion and then add the soup, chili’s, spices and cheese.

Creamy-Beef-and-Green-Chile-Casserole-6Place half the chips in the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish, pour half of the meat mixture over it.

Creamy-Beef-and-Green-Chile-Casserole-6Add another layer of chips and add the rest of the meat mixture.

Creamy-Beef-and-Green-Chile-Casserole-6Sprinkle with two cups of cheese and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

And just like that, you have an extremely delicious dinner to serve your loved ones.

Creamy-Beef-and-Green-Chile-Casserole-6***If you really like green chili’s you can add two cans, but my family likes it best with only one.

    This beef and green chili casserole looks amazing. I’ll probably store this recipe with all of my favorites on Swiftstack. This would definitely go amazing with a Spanish rice.

    Hi,
    I like this recipe and plan to try it! I’m wondering what you think about dividing a can of Mexican corn (well drained) and adding to each layer? I love the fiesta corn that Del Montr makes. Have you ever tried anything like this, if so, how did it turn out!

      That sounds really good, I haven’t tried it with corn, but I bet it would be a great addition.

    Delicious. I prepared this for my wife and I tonight and served it with corn. Because it’s only for two and we’re in our late seventies I cut the recipe in half but used one 4 oz. can of Green Chili. While we both liked it and declared it a keeper I under salted it and, after a few bites, my wife mixed her corn with the casserole. Your recipe is delicious as is and I will gladly share it with our children and grandchildren. However, in the future I will add a small 8.5 oz. can of corn to the mix.as that really spoke to our taste buds. Thanks for giving an old man something new to cook.
