Leftover Tex- Mex Pork Casserole

Features:
  • Gluten Free
Cuisine:

My family calls these kinds of dishes my "concoctions". We had a couple of thick-cut pork chops left over, so I decided to adapt a tex-mex chicken casserole I've made that the family loves. I added a little too much "juice" to the casserole and the tortilla chips were very soggy. Next time I'll try for a crispy taste. I have frozen red, green, yellow and orange bell peppers, already chopped, so I included a variety of them in this dish for color.

Coat a 9 X 13 Glass Casserole Dish With Non-Stick Spray. Evenly Distribute Crushed Tortilla Chips Over Bottom of the Dish.

3
Done

in a Large Skillet, Heat Oil and Butter Over Medium Until Butter Foams. Add Bell Peppers, Onions and Garlic. Saute' Until Soft.

4
Done

Drain the Canned Tomatoes, Reserving the Juice. Crush Them Up Some, Just So not Whole.

5
Done

Add Pork to Skillet With Vegies. Add Crushed Tomatoes, Basil and Cumin. Slowly Add Some of Reserved Tomato Juice and Chicken Stock. This Is Where You Need to Do a Lot of Taste-Testing. You Need Enough to Moisten the Ingredients but not Too Soupy, Probably 3/4 Cup Total. Bring to a Simmer For About 10 Minutes.

6
Done

Add Salt and Pepper to Taste. I Also Added a Pinch of Sugar to Tone Down the Acidic Taste.

7
Done

Pour Over the Chips. Top With Velvetta and Cheddar Cheese.

8
Done

Bake at 375 For 15 - 20 Minutes Until Cheese Is Melted and Bubbly.
