Ingredients for my family will be listed. You can use more or less depending on your size of family but this recipe and amounts will feed 6 and still have leftovers for lunch the next day!!!!
- 3 lbs hamburger meat (can be substituted with ground turkey)
- 3 packets of taco seasoning (we use mild)
- 1 12 oz bag of tortilla chips
- 2lbs shredded mexican blend cheese
- Family size box of Velveeta Shells and cheese
- 8 oz of sour cream
- Salsa (optional)
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Brown your hamburger meat, drain grease. Return to pan. Add your water and taco seasoning, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and place a lid on the pan, allow to simmer while boiling your velveeta shells and cheese. After the shells and cheese are done boiling, mix in the cheese packet that comes with it. Stir in the 8 oz of sour cream. Mix well.
Get your Pyrex dish ready! Spray it with a light coat of Pam non stick spray. Lay your first layer of nacho chips down. Then add a layer of your cooked and simmered hamburger taco meat. Then a layer of the shells and cheese mix, cover with shredded cheese. Repeat layers once. The very top should be crumbled nacho chips and then cover with more shredded cheese!! Bake at 400 for about 10 minutes (just long enough to melt the cheese all the way through.) Remove from oven and enjoy!!! I put the salsa on top of the serving after making plates, (some of my kids like salsa others don’t.)
My kids love this recipe so much that I purposely make extra so we can have it for lunch the next day!! I hope your kids love this recipe as much as mine does.
