Green Chili and Cream Cheese Beef

Oh. My. Goodness. I am so in love with this Creamy Beef and Green Chili Casserole. All I did was make a couple of minor changes to a recipe my mom used to make a lot when I was a kid. And BOOM, BABY! It's sooooooo delicious! My family also loves these Mexican Casserole and Chicken Black Bean Chilaquiles recipes.

When I was a kid, my mom made a casserole with beef, green chilies, and corn tortillas. I can still remember watching her tear tortillas into pieces.

I knew my family would like the kind of casserole my mom made, but I thought I would try switching out the corn tortillas for some corn tortilla chips. Good decision. Very good decision! I also made a couple of other tiny changes, like adding a little extra cheese, some garlic salt, and oregano.

Tips for making Creamy Beef and Green Chili Casserole

• If you really like green chilies, use two cans, but my family likes it best with only one.
• Add a little black pepper to the beef mixture, if you want.
• Mexican Four Cheese or Cheddar Cheese can be used in place of the Colby Jack Cheese.
