This casserole sounds a lot like frito pie. I think of this dish as more of an appetizer or snack. It would be great served at a game night, casual get together, or party. When making this, I would use lean ground beef and drain it after cooking it, before adding other ingredients. I would also use low fat cheddar cheese.

This is so god as written, but if you feel it is too bland tasting for you...you can add several things to pice it up, such as chopped jalapenos, some chopped green chilies , or just add crushed red pepper , or even hot sauce. Wonderful just written as is!
