At our house we celebrate 1/2 Birthdays, which consist of a small present and the person picking their favorite meal.  This is one that two of my younger brothers will pick over and over!

1/2 Birthday Taco Casserole

1 lb. ground beef

1 small onion, chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 cup tomato sauce

2 T. water

2 t. chili powder

1 t. cumin

dash oregano

1 can chili beans, drained

corn chips

1-2 c. shredded cheddar colby jack cheese mix

shredded lettuce, optional

Brown beef, onion and garlic in a skillet; drain.

Combine meat, tomato sauce, water and seasonings in a bowl.

Place 1/2 of meat mixture in a lightly greased 9 in. baking pan.  Top with 1/2 of beans, then about a cup of corn chips.  Another layer of meat, then beans. 

Cover and bake 350 for 25-30 min.  Uncover, sprinkle with about 2 c. corn chips, enough to cover the top well.  Sprinkle cheese on top.  Bake another 5 min. or til cheese is melted.

If you want you can serve shredded lettuce on top.

Yields: 4-5 Servings
