Brown ground beef in a large pan over medium heat and drain off any excess grease.

Chop onions and add them to the browned ground beef in the pan.

Cook the onions until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

In a large saucepan, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, whole or stewed tomatoes, and tomato puree.

Do not dilute the soups with water.

Heat the canned ingredients over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Add the cooked ground beef and onion mixture to the saucepan with the canned ingredients.

Stir in the black-eyed peas and jalapenos.

Mix all ingredients together thoroughly.

Simmer the casserole mixture for approximately 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Pour the simmered casserole mixture into a baking dish.

Top with grated Cheddar cheese and crushed tortilla chips or Doritos.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chips are golden brown.

Let cool slightly before serving.
