110.75 ounce can cream of chicken soup
110 ounce can red enchilada sauce
1cupmilk
1cupsour cream
2-3cupscheddar cheeseshredded
1large bag tortilla chips
Instructions
Put your ground beef, onion, and garlic in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat until the meat is browned.
While you're waiting for the ground beef to brown, mix the rest of your spices in a small bowl. This will be your seasoning.
When the meat is done cooking, drain and then return to the skillet.
Add your spices and stir until all your beef is covered. Set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, place both soups, enchilada sauce, milk, and sour cream. Stir until combined, smooth, and creamy.
Stir in seasoned ground beef. Allow to warm while you prepare the baking dish.
Lightly grease a 9" x 13" baking dish. Lightly crumble about ⅔ of the tortilla chips. You want them smaller than a normal tortilla chip, but bigger than the crumbs you find at the bottom of the bag.
Pour ground beef mixture over chips and spread evenly.
Top with cheddar cheese.
Then crumble the remaining chips and sprinkle those on top of the cheese
Bake in a 350° oven for about 20 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly and the dish is heated through.
Serve warm with additional toppings, if desired, such as extra sour cream, pico de gallo, and guacamole.
