Taco Bake

1 lb. ground beef
1 15 oz. can of chili
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
1 onion chopped
1 c. frozen corn kernels (optional)
1/2 t. garlic salt or powder
1/2 t. chili powder
1/2 t. black pepper
1/2 lb. grated cheddar cheese
3 oz. corn chips

Brown meat, add onion, chili, tomato sauce, garlic & pepper. Add corn if desired.

Grease a casserole dish. Crush 1/2 of the corn chips & sprinkle in the dish. Add half the chili-beef mixture, then cheese. Repeat chips, chili & cheese.

Bake 15-20 minutes at 350. Serve with green salad including chopped tomatoes, cucumber, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, & ranch dressing. Sliced oranges go well with this meal as well. Yummo!

Audrey's little note: I've been making this dish for as long as I've been married, and it is always loved.
