Janet’s Mexican Lasagna

My sister, Janet, mother of eight children, sent this recipe to me.  It’s easy and serves a crowd.

By Janet, Pat’s sister

2           pounds  ground round
1           onion — chopped
1           clove  garlic — chopped
1/2      bell pepper — chopped
1           package  tortillas — cut in bite size pieces
1           can  ranch style beans
1           can  cream of mushroom soup, condensed
2           cans  Rotel tomatoes (Be careful of pepper taste for children)
cheddar cheese or packaged Mexican cheese

Brown ground meat until no longer pink.

Add onions, bell pepper, and garlic cooking until onions are clear. (Spoon off grease drippings)

Stir in beans, soup, and tomatoes.

In a greased casserole dish, layer meat mixture, cheese, and tortilla pieces.

Sprinkle with cheese and bake 350 degrees 20 to 30 minutes or until bubbly.

    Correction to the recipe: After browning the meat and seasoning, draining off the fat, you put your tortilla pieces in and let them absorb the meat flavor. Then you begin layering beginning. First your meat and tortillas mixture, then your beans, then mix your Rotel and soup together and put that next. Top with cheese after the mixture is hot and let melt. Then serve.
    It is still a favorite at my house! Aunt Janet
