Taco Casserole
1-2 packs of flour tortillas
2 lbs. ground venison or beef or pork
2 packs of taco seasoning
1 can of refried beans
1 box of mexican or spanish flavored rice
1 (8oz.) bag of shredded cheese
crushed tortilla chips (optional)
the ground meat and rinse off the grease. Mix in the taco seasoning according to package directions. Add the refried beans and stir until well blended. Spray non-stick cooking spray in a 9x13 baking dish (or larger if you prefer). Sprinkle the bottom with crushed tortilla chips (optional). Put down a layer of flour tortillas. Spread half of the taco meat on the tortillas. Spread half of the rice mix on the meat. Sprinkle a bit of the cheese on top of the rice. Add another layer of flour tortillas, meat mix, rice, then the cheese. Sprinkle the top with some crushed tortilla chips (optional). Bake until the cheese is melted and starting to bubble. Cut into squares and serve with salsa, sour cream, and lettuce. This recipe is extremely versatile....you can use corn tortillas, any kind of rice or no rice at all, you can stir in tomatoes, rotel, or salsa, or whatever you prefer. I use whatever kind of chips I have on hand...doritos, corn chips, l/o tortilla chips that are starting to go stale. It gives it just a bit of crunch. Another option that I have done before is to stir about 1/4 of a block of velveeta into the meat mix when I stirred in the refried beans and stirred it until it melted. I left out the rice and the shredded cheese and it was delicious (my family actually preferred it that way LOL.
