• Spray a 9x13 pan with non-stick spray.

• Sprinkle with 1/3 of the cheese.
• Repeat steps 7-9 two times.

• **Can also be refrigerated in the morning and baked later that day. I haven't tried to freeze it yet.

• Mix boiling water and 1 tablespoon butter in a bowl until butter is melted. Mix in milk, potatoes and the envelope of sauce mix from the box. Add pot roast mixture and stir until combined. Pour into the prepared baking dish.

LEFTOVER TEX-MEX PORK CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Coat a 9 x 13 glass casserole dish with non-stick spray. Evenly distribute crushed tortilla chips over bottom of the dish.
• In a large skillet, heat oil and butter over medium until butter foams. Add bell peppers, onions and garlic. Saute' until soft.
• Drain the canned tomatoes, reserving the juice. Crush them up some, just so not whole.
• Add pork to skillet with vegies. Add crushed tomatoes, basil and cumin. Slowly add some of reserved tomato juice and chicken stock. This is where you need to do a lot of taste-testing. You need enough to moisten the ingredients but not too soupy, probably 3/4 cup total. Bring to a simmer for about 10 minutes.
• Add salt and pepper to taste. I also added a pinch of sugar to tone down the acidic taste.
• Pour over the chips. Top with Velvetta and cheddar cheese.
• Bake at 375 for 15 - 20 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
