Here’s a slight twist on the traditional taco casserole recipe. The cheesy potatoes add another level of flavor to the tasty beef and seasoned cheese. Run for the border indeed!

½ pound ground beef

1 package au gratin potatoes

2 ¼ cups boiling water

2/3 cup milk

1 cup shredded taco-seasoned cheese

1 cup coarsely broken tortilla chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. (F)

Cook beef in 10-inch skillet over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until brown; drain.

Mix uncooked potatoes, sauce mix, boiling water and milk in ungreased 2-quart round casserole. Stir in beef and ½ cup of cheese.

Bake uncovered 30 minutes or until top is light golden brown. Sprinkle chips over casserole; sprinkle remaining cheese over chips.

Bake 3 to 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand 2 minutes before serving.
