Taco Plate Casserole Recipe

Stir in the refried beans, canned tomatoes, condensed cream of mushroom soup, and sliced olives. Mix everything thoroughly and heat until the mixture is warmed through.

While the meat mixture warms, lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Measure out 2 cups of the meat mixture and set it aside for the top layer of the casserole.

Sprinkle 1 cup of the cheddar cheese over the meat, then scatter half of the crumbled tortilla chips on top of the cheese.

Repeat this layering: add another layer of tortillas, the rest of the meat mixture (from the non-reserved portion), the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese, and the rest of the crumbled tortilla chips.

Finally, spread the 2 cups of reserved meat mixture over the very top, then cover it with the remaining 2 cups of cheddar cheese.
