• 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 to 1 1/2 cups sour cream

Instructions

1. In a skillet brown the ground beef. Drain off fat.
2. Combine beans, enchilada and tomato sauces in a bowl with minced onion. Set aside 1 cup corn chips and 1/2 cup cheese.
3. Add the remaining cheese and corn chips with the meat to the beans. Stir to blend. Empty into a lightly buttered 2-quart casserole.
4. Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through.
