Tex-Mex Casserole

This is a great potluck dish.  It makes a nice amount and goes fast.  It is always a favorite when I serve it.  Sometimes I add in a can of pinto beans or refried beans into the hamburger mixture. You can use either plain tortilla chips or if you prefer you could use nacho, taco or ranch flavor.  They all work equally well.

Tex-Mex Casserole


2 pounds ground beef
1 onion, chopped
