Wilma's Mexican Casserole

True Texas's Note:

This is my Mom's Mexican casserole, it's my brother's most requested dish.

• Total Time: 50 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 8

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 1 onion white, chopped
• 1 (10 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 (4 1/2 ounce) can taco sauce
• 1 (11 ounce) can enchilada sauce
• 1 (4 ounce) can green chilies (small)
• 1/4 cup water
• 12 corn tortillas, torn in pieces
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated

Directions:

1. Brown meat with onions, drain fat.
2. Add all the remaining ingredients except the cheese and tortillas.
3. Grease a large casserole dish.
4. Now alternate torn tortillas, the meat and soup mixture then the cheese. You can do this twice. I like to end with the cheese or save some of the cheese for the top.
5. Top with remaining cheese. Bake in 350° oven for 30 minutes.

Very good recipe overall. However we did find the corn tortilla shells to be a bit overpowering in the dish. Next time I will try using the flour ones even though they will be a bit soft I think it will work. We still enjoyed it but for our taste preference we do not care for the flavor of the corn shells.

Wow! 5 stars from the whole family! Wilma was onto something, here! Loved the taste, ease and consistancy. So easy to prepare on a work night and serve leftovers the next night. I did add a little crushed red pepper after cooking for heat. This would be nice with sliced black olives and scallions on top to garnish. Just wonderful! Thanks, Luvin' Texas!

I didn't have any enchilada sauce or taco sauce, but thanks to your website I made homemade sauces to go with this great casserole. The flavor is great, and I think next time I'll throw in some refried beans, jalapenos, olives, and corn to give it a kick. Love this! Thank you!
