    • 🍅 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained

STEPS

1

Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground chuck, and cook, stirring and breaking up meat into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and almost cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.

3

Stir in stock, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, corn, and taco seasoning. Bring to a boil over medium-high. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer, stirring often, until slightly thickened, about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 cup of the Cheddar cheese.

4

Transfer beef mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread into an even layer. Top with remaining Cheddar and corn chips.

5

Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until the mixture is bubbling and the cheese is melted and starting to brown, about 18 to 20 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
