And did I mention it is SUPER easy to make?
------------------
In an lightly oiled skillet, cook meat completely, adding onion and pepper as it cooks.
Unroll crescent roll dough and lay flat on the bottom of a casserole dish. This will serve as the crust.
Crush tortilla chips in bag and layer half of the bag directly on top of the crust.
Add beef mixture on top and spread evenly.
Spoon sour cream on top of the beef as your next layer.
Sprinkle on the cheese (we only had sliced cheese that day)...
....and top off casserole with remaining crushed tortilla chips. Bake in oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is brown.
Mexican Casserole
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean beef, chicken, or ground turkey (they all taste delicious!)
- 1/2 medium white onion, chopped
- 1/2 medium bell pepper, chopped
- 1 6oz can of tomato sauce
- 1 pkg taco seasoning (or make your own!)
- 1 can of Pillsbury crescent rolls
- 1 bag of Tostitos tortilla chips
- 4oz sour cream (we go light)
- 1 C shredded mozzarella cheese (any really works, sharp cheddar is a close second)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In an lightly oiled skillet, cook meat completely, adding onion and pepper as it cooks. Pour in tomato sauce and add package of taco seasoning, stir and let simmer.
- Unroll crescent roll dough and lay flat on the bottom of a casserole dish. This initial layer will serve as the crust of the casserole.
- Crush tortilla chips in bag and layer half of the bag directly on top of the crust. Add beef mixture on top and spread evenly.
- Spoon sour cream on top of the beef as the next layer. Sprinkle on cheese and top off casserole with remaining crushed tortilla chips.
- Bake in oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is brown.
This meal is also very easy to tweak. Not only can you use various meat and cheeses, but you can also add additional ingredients. In the past, I have added corn and jalapenos and it is just as delicious!
