Creamy Taco Casserole

• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1 package taco seasoning mix
• 1 cup water
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 4 ounces taco sauce
• 3 ounces cream cheese
• 8 ounces corn kernels
• 4 ounces sliced olives
• 1 bag Fritos corn chips, 10 ounce size
• 2 cups Mexican blend cheese, shredded
• Toppings
• tomatoes, diced
• green onion, diced
• sour cream
• shredded lettuce

1. Brown the ground beef with the onions and garlic.
2. When all the pink is out of the meat add the seasoning mix, water, cream cheese, corn, 1/2 the olives and Taco sauce.
3. Let this simmer for 3 to 4 minutes.
4. Crush the Fritos chips (I used the chili flavored ones, but plain will work fine).
5. In an 8x12 casserole dish, layer 1/2 of the Fritos, then 1/2 the meat filling, and then 1/2 the cheese (regular cheddar will work also, I just prefer the combined cheese flavors).
6. Repeat the layers and top with the remaining olives.
7. Bake at 375u0b0 for 20-25 minutes, or until it is warmed completely and the cheese is melted.
8. To serve, you can top with shredded lettuce, the diced green onions (tops included), diced tomatoes and a shot of the sour cream.
