Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 2
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Step 3
Add the chopped onion, jalapeno pepper, and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened and the beef is fully cooked.
Step 4
Stir in the canned corn, cream of celery soup, cream of mushroom soup, and sour cream. Mix well.
Step 5
Add chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper to taste. For some heat, add hot sauce according to your preference. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined.
Step 6
Transfer the beef mixture to the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Step 7
Sprinkle the shredded Mexican blend cheese over the top of the beef mixture.
Step 8
Arrange corn chips over the cheese, pressing them slightly into the mixture.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.
