Ingredients
Casserole:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound sweet Italian sausage, out of the casing
3/4 pound ground beef
8 ounces crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce
1 bag blue corn tortilla chips (or chips of your choice)
1 1/2- 2 cups shredded cheese - I used a combo of mozzarella and provolone
Toppings: shredded, lettuce, sliced avocado, chopped tomatoes, sour cream, if desired
For the casserole: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Heat the oil, in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and brown, crumbling the meat. Add the beef and continue to brown and crumble the meat. Add 8 ounces tomato sauce and mix all together. Let cool a bit.
Lay the bag of chips in a casserole dish and top with the sausage and beef mixture. Top with cheese. Bake at 375 degrees F until bubbly and hot about 20 minutes. Add toppings and serve!
