NACHOS CASSEROLE

1 cup chunky taco sauce

1 can (4-oz) green chilies, chopped

1 lb ground beef

1/2 cup chopped onions

1/4 tsp ground cumin

1 cup refried beans

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup water

4 cups corn flakes cereal

chopped tomatoes, optional

sour cream, optional

chopped green onions, optional

sliced black olives, optional


In a small bowl, combine taco sauce and chilies; set aside.

In a large frying pan, cook ground beef and onions until meat is
browned. Drain off the drippings. Add cumin, beans, half the cheese,
half the taco sauce mixture, and water. Pour half the corn flakes into
a lightly greased 12 x 7 1/2 x 2-inch (2-qt) baking dish. Cover with
the meat mixture. Top with remaining taco sauce mixture. Sprinkle with
the remaining corn flakes.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 25 minutes or
until thoroughly heated. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake just
until the cheese melts. Garnish with chopped tomatoes, sour cream,
chopped green onions and sliced black olives, if desired.
Yield: 6 servings
