Beef Nacho Casserole - Teen Approved

This is what I made this last night for our weekly Sunday supper discipleship group, 

we call it D Group ;)

It's a mix of teens from middle to high school that join us for a meal and discipleship time before youth group. I'll admit, find it stressful sometimes to find a meal that will work for the number of people 7 - 9 (I'm used to just cooking for me & my hubby), middle to high school aged teens will like, and not cost an arm and a leg....or take all day!

This past week my mother-in-law told me and said she had the perfect recipe for me to try at 

D Group and even gave me the ingredients too! Since it was a hit (minus one person who didn't "get" why there was corn and another who thought my addition of curry powder turned up the heat factor a little too much) I thought I would share.  

I present you with: Teen Approved Beef Nacho Casserole

I adjusted the quantities for a larger crowd, but this is the recipe I worked from. I feel like the above quantities would feed 4 - 6 people.

I like this recipe because anything with almost a cup of mayo and 2 cups of cheese can't disappoint also, I like to play fast and loose with exact measurements and this recipe just 'gets' that.  You really can't mess it up.  Just adjust salsa and chili/curry powder to suite a spice level you like!

*Disclaimer...I did not take this picture. Honestly, only did a blog post so I could post the reciple .jpg I made so I could then pin it for a friend...you know how it goes...the things we do for pinterest! But, then I googled so there would be a picture (because even though it's potentially the least photogenic meal, I know I like to have a picture with a recipe) and I'm pretty sure I found the exact recipe my mother-in-law had found so I could've just pinned straight from there.
Anyway, enjoy my totally superfluous post...at least I got to use the word superfluous :)
