Southwest Hamburger Casserole

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.

Step 10: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.
