Ingredients
  

For the Taco Seasoning

  • 1 tbsp Chili Powder
  • 2 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper

For the Casserole

  • 2 lb Ground Beef
  • 1/2 Medium Onion, Diced
  • 1 can (10 oz) Diced Tomatoes with Green Chiles, Drained
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese, Softened
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese

For Topping

  • 1 Medium Avocado, Diced
  • 1/4 cup Sour Cream
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro, Chopped
  • 1 Jalapeno, Thinly Sliced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Stir all of the taco seasoning ingredients together in a small bowl.
  • Brown the ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 8 to 10 minutes, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Drain off the excess fat.
  • Add the taco seasoning, drained tomatoes and water to the beef. Simmer for 5 minutes until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the meat is well coated, then take it off the heat.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the cream cheese, sour cream and eggs until smooth. Stir in the beef mixture and half of the cheddar until evenly combined.
  • Spread the mixture into the baking dish and top with the remaining cheddar and the monterey jack.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until set in the center and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes, then top with the avocado, sour cream, cilantro and jalapeno slices before serving.
