Fast Hamburger Casserole With a Mexican Twist,This was the result of a fridge clean-up. I’m sure you could play around a lot with the measurements and ingredients. Everyone here loved it, and it was so easy. Dinner was early for a change. I decided to post it before I forgot it. Many thanks to those who have tried, enjoyed and reviewed this recipe. I always try a zmail to thank you, but can’t always get through.,We had this for dinner tonight. I made it using all the optional ingredients and doubled the garlic and cheese on top. Everyone enjoyed it!,I needed a fast easy recipe to make a dish to share at a potluck, using things I had on hand. This casserole fit the bill in every way: fast, easy, delicious.
