By ames107

Ingredients

• 1 lb extra lean ground beef
• 6 slices bacon, diced
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
• 1 tbsp white vinegar
• 1 tbsp mustard
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 cups cooked kidney beans, drained
• 2 cups cooked pinto beans, drained
• 1 can whole kernel corn, drained
• 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 cup crushed tortilla chips

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large skillet over medium high heat, brown the beef, bacon, onion, and pepper together until the beef is cooked. Drain off any fat.

Transfer the mixture to a 3 quart casserole. Add the vinegar, mustard, ketchup, sugar, beans, and corn and stir to blend well. Bake uncovered 30-40 minutes until bubbly.

Remove from the oven and spread the cheese and chips evenly over the top. Return to the oven for about 10 minutes longer until the cheese is melted and the chips are crisp.
