Mexican Casserole Recipe

The casserole I made tonight was DELICIOUS!!! Thanks to E-mealz, we had another successful yummy meal! I wasn't sure about it at first, just from the directions it sounded kind of weird, but once cooked, mm mm mm ~ super yummy! If you are looking for an easy dinner, try this one out!

One Dish Nacho Bake

1 lb ground beef  

1 can diced tomatoes, undrained 

1 pkg taco seasoning  

(½ c water) 

1 cup sour cream 

9 oz pkg tortilla chips, 8 cups 

8 oz shredded cheddar 

    Cook and drain ground beef.   Add tomatoes, 

water and taco pkt to ground beef.  Cook, 

uncovered, 10 min.  Stir in 1 cup of sour cream.  

In 13x9, place ½ of chips, then ½ of meat 

mixture and ½ of cheese.  Repeat layers.  Bake 

@ 350° for 10 min. 

**I added green chiles, more seasonings & crushed red pepper to mine. You could add onions or any other "Mexican dish" veggie. 

How E-mealz saves my family $$$

Any of you seen that "Extreme Couponing" show? Yeah. Me too. Pretty ridiculous for those of us who don't have 40+ hours a week to give to clipping and searching for coupon deals. I'm not against coupons, don't get me wrong, but why not make a show where people could actually relate? Because that just would not be fun to watch! :D  Anyways, before that show even first aired, I was seeking ways to cut my families grocery bills down! Spending $400+ a month on groceries for TWO people was pretty ridiculous! My sis-in-law got me hooked on E-mealz. www.e-mealz.com. Its a VERY doable & affordable way to plan out your meals. My other problem was that I HATED figuring out "what's for dinner?". This company will not only plan out your meals for a week (5 days), but it gives you your itemized grocery list of exactly what you need for each meal (this way you're not wandering the aisles buying random items for dinner, as usual), PLUS on top of that, most meal plans cost around $35-$50/wk! It's easy too! All you do is find which plan works best for your family:
