Directions
Mexican Layered Beef and Bean Casserole,This is delicious creamy ground beef, bean and corn mixture layered between crushed tortilla chips and cheddar cheese then topped off with more cheese, tomatoes and green onions, if you like extreme spice then add in some cayenne pepper and use spicy salsa as well as the jalapeno peppers :),Very good! I omitted the jalapeo and lo and behold my husband said it would have been perfect with jalapeos! Next time! The ingredients make ALOT of filling so unless your 9 x 13 pan is deep, I suggest using a larger pan. Having leftovers tonight. Yum!,I look forward to making this soon with a few adaptations which use with a similiar recipe. I am sure it is absolutely delicious as written, but, sigh, I have to save some calories. The adaptations I have in mind really have more to do with preference than function. I have used ground turkey and reduced fat sour cream and cheese with no difficulties. use corn tortillas torn into bits instead of chips and refried beans (just because I like them). Maybe it is the cheese use but I have decided that I cannot taste or detect the cheese when it is mixed in( it just kind or disappears) so I will experiment with putting it on top when I reheat a portion. I figure, that way, that I can taste and enjoy it more. As long as I’m indulging, I may as well as enjoy it! Also, since layering is more work for me, I just mix the ingredients together. Tastes good to me. Really just depends on your tastes and how you want the dish to look. Terrific recipe, very flexible and forgiving. Thanks for posting, Kitten!
