This has been a favorite of mine for years. I made it independently for the first time last week, and I thought maybe others might like it, too.

MEXI-CHILI CASSEROLE
1 lb. ground beef
1 (1 lb.) can kidney beans
1 (15 oz.) can mild enchilada sauce
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 tbsp. instant minced onion
1 (6 oz.) pkg. corn chips
2 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
1 1/2 c. sour cream
In skillet, brown beef. In a mixing bowl, combine beans, enchilada sauce, tomato
sauce, and onion. Set aside 1 cup corn chips and 1/2 cup cheese. Add remaining cheese,
corn chips and meat to beans; stir to blend. Pour into a 2 quart casserole. Bake,
uncovered, in a moderate oven (350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Spread top with
sour cream; sprinkle with reserved cheese. Ring remaining corn chips around edge;
return to oven 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve immediately. Serves
6+.

Completely dumb question... but how do you brown beef in a skillet? Like, how do you know that it's "brown"?
