Crock Pot Mexican Casserole
2 lbs. ground beef
1 6 oz. can tomato sauce
1 pkg. taco seasoning
4 - 6 oz.'s of diced ortega chilies
10 oz. can of diced tomato
1 - 2 lbs. grated cheddar cheese (or whatever you prefer)
8 - 10 flour tortillas
*You can also substitute the ground beef for chicken (cooked and chopped), the tomato sauce for cream of celery soup, and the diced tomatoes for double the chilies, and usually change the cheese to jack - I make this recipe often and we tend to prefer the chicken.
Brown the meat and add in the taco seasoning, tomato sauce, chilies, and diced tomato.
In the crock pot put a ladle full of meat mixture on the bottom then layer 2 tortillas, meat mixture, and cheese. Repeat tortillas, meat, and cheese as many times as you have ingredients for. The crock pot is the perfect pot for this recipe because of its round shape and depth. Top with two tortillas and cheese.
Heat on High for about 1 1/2 hours.
I always have sour cream and salsa on hand for the meal, and this is a meal that is even better as leftovers.
