Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 preferred)
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning (chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, cayenne)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 medium fresh tomatoes, diced
  • 3–4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup black olives, sliced (optional)
  • 1 can (16 oz) refried beans
  • 1 cup crushed tortilla chips
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes until no longer pink; drain excess fat.
  3. Add taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water to the beef; stir and simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  4. In a medium bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth.
  5. Spread refried beans evenly in the bottom of a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
  6. Layer the cream cheese mixture over the refried beans evenly.
  7. Distribute the seasoned ground beef over the cream cheese layer, pressing lightly.
  8. Sprinkle black beans evenly over the beef layer.
  9. Top with diced tomatoes and sliced green onions.
  10. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  11. Optionally add black olives and chopped cilantro.
  12. Sprinkle crushed tortilla chips on top.
  13. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly and edges are lightly golden.
  14. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Avoid overcooking ground beef to keep it tender. Mix cream cheese and sour cream until smooth for best texture. Let casserole rest after baking for easier serving. Tent with foil if cheese browns too quickly. Serve with salsa or guacamole if casserole seems dry. Can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking. Freezes well up to 2 months.
