Mexican Casserole

Just seeing the name of this recipe makes me want some! This is the same recipe my mother has been preparing for as long as I can remember. She has tweaked it over the years, but I'm still faithful to the original because I love it so.

2 lb. lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tbl. cumin
salt and pepper to taste
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can tomatoes with green chilies
1/4 cup milk
1 cup grated cheese
tortilla chips

Combine ground beef, onion and spices in a large skillet. Cook until meat is browned and onion is tender. Drain off grease. In a large bowl, combine soups, tomatoes, chilies and milk to make a sauce. (If a less spicy dish is desired, mild salsa can be substituted for the chopped tomatoes and green chilies) Line the bottom of a large casserole dish or 13x9x2 baking pan with tortilla chips. Cover chips with browned meat mixture. Pour sauce over top of meat and sprinkle with plenty of grated cheese. Bake at 325ºF for 30 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and casserole is hot through.
