Instructions
- Heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Place tortilla chips in a blender and pulse into fine crumbs. Pour in the melted butter and continue to pulse until well combined. Press into the bottom of a 13x9" baking dish. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, red peppers, green peppers, ground beef, and garlic salt; cook, stirring to break up clumps of beef, until the peppers are soft and the beef is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain off any excess fat from the skillet.
- Pour the jar of salsa into a large bowl. Fold in the cooked beef mixture, 1 cup of the cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup of the pepper jack cheese, and olives. Scrape the entire mixture into the prepared crust. Sprinkle the remaining cheeses over the top.
- Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) for 30 minutes. Sprinkle green onions and cilantro evenly over the top.
Notes
- Store the Beef Nacho Casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. While it's possible to freeze the casserole for up to 2 months, note that the texture of the tortilla chips may soften upon thawing.
- To reheat, cover with aluminum foil and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven until heated through, about 20 minutes.
