An easy and family pleasing casserole that's on the table in less than 45 minutes. I serve this with a guacamole salad, or a green salad with slices of avocado. Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
1 jalapeno, minced (optional or more to taste) |
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce |
1 tablespoon chili powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
6 corn tortillas, cut in half |
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded (8 oz) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 and grease 1 1/2 qrt casserole dish.
2. Brown meat and drain.
3. Add onion and jalapeno (if using) and cook with meat until tender.
4. Stir in tomato sauce and seasonings.
5. Layer one-third of meat mixture, cheese and one half of tortillas in casserole dish; repeat layers, ending with cheese.
6. Bake at 325 for 20 minutes.
7. Note: Corn tortillas will soften and absorb the sauce.
8. These are recommended.
9. Flour tortillas will expand and the casserole will be too doughy-therefore flour tortillas are not recommended.
