Taco Bake

1 small onion, diced
1 small can black olives
1 package shredded cheddar cheese



Brown hamburger (drain).  Add onion and cook until onion is transparent.  Add taco seasoning and rotel.  Mix well.  Place meat mixture in a casserole dish.  Cover with black beans, olives and cheese.  Bake covered at 350 Deg for 30 - 45 minutes or until bubbly.  Serve with tortilla chips.


The entire family loved this.  It's a good size for a family of 5 with some leftovers.  It could be made larger easily!

Update - Hi!  This is Rebekka!  I just made this FABULOUS recipe tonight and Charity very graciously agreed to let me put my pics on her post.  Thanks Charity!!!  And thanks for the recipe too! It was a HIT!!!  :)

So, here goes...

First, I browned the hamburger.

(See that weird looking spoon at the top.  That's my Pampered Chef Mix 'N Chop!

Its great!!!  It helps break up ground meat as it cooks - or canned tomatoes.  Love it!!!)

Once the beef was completely cooked, I drained it and threw it in a bowl.

Then I threw the onions into the pan and cooked those babies until translucent.

Once the onions were cooked, I turned the stove off, removed the pan from the heat, threw in the can of Rotel and the package of taco seasoning and mixed it all together.

Then I poured the whole mixture into an 8x8-inch baking dish.

Then I drained and rinsed a can of black beans and sprinkled those on top.

And finally, I shredded an 8oz block of cheddar cheese and spread that on top.  I baked it in a 350 degree oven for 35 minutes.

Look.  I didn't even get a chance to take an "After Pic" before we dug in! We ate this with tortilla chips.  YUM!  The hubby said it was delicious and I agree!  He ate his with a dollop of sour cream.  I ate mine with jalapenos on top.  :)
