- NOTES:* A simple Mexican-style casserole with beef and cheese - This a conglomeration of several of my favorite Mexican casserole recipes. I took what I liked best from each one and this is what it turned out to be. My family devoured it instantly and completely, and it has become one of our favorites.
- Yield: Serves 4-6.
- * You can adjust the seasonings to suit your own tastes; I listed conservative amounts (for me, anyway!). You can also add in salsa (homemade is best) to the casserole, if you like. Serve with fried rice (plain or possibly flavored) and green salad.
- Difficulty: easy.
- Time: 15 min preparation, 20 min cooking.
- Precision: approximate measurement OK.
