A simple inexpensive family dinner with mild flavors. Note recipe makes 3 casseroles, 4-5 servings each, for freezing, but recipe is easily cut down for immediate cooking. From Frozen Assets by Deborah Taylor-Hough, a OAMC book. Ingredients:
3 lbs ground beef |
3 onions, chopped |
3 teaspoons salt |
1 teaspoon pepper |
3 tablespoons chili powder |
24 ounces tomato sauce |
18 corn tortillas, spread with butter (i spray with a little cooking spray) |
12 ounces black olives, drained and chopped (i use 3 cans sliced olives, drained) |
3 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded |
1 1/2 cups water |
Directions:
1. Brown ground beef and onion; add seasonings and tomato sauce.
2. In 3 2-quart casserole dishes (I use 3 square foil pans for freezing), alternate layers of tortillas (can be cut into 1-inch pieces), meat sauce, olives and cheese.
3. Add 1/2 c water to each casserole. Cover tightly. Label and freeze. Thaw casserole completely.
4. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
