Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Mixture

    In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Mix in the Tomatoes and Spices

    Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Layer the Dish

    In a baking dish, layer half of the tortilla chips, followed by the beef mixture, and top with half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat the layers.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the layered dish for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Old Smelter Stack with additional tortilla chips if desired.
