MEXICAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Be sure to cook your rice if you haven't already (if you are just reading this and just now realized you don't have any cooked rice and don't want to wait, consider switching to quinoa, which cooks much more quickly than brown rice. Instant brown rice also works in a pinch).
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a large casserole dish (9x13 inch or similar) with nonstick spray and set aside.
• In a Dutch oven or large, deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high. Add the onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Sauté until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the beef, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Continue to sauté until the beef is cooked through and no longer pink, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 1 additional minute.
• Remove from the heat. Stir in the rice and Greek yogurt until evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
• Assemble the casserole: Spread the beans into an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
• Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese over the beans.
• Scatter the tomatoes with green chilis over the top.
• Spoon the rice and ground beef mixture on top of the tomatoes, spreading it into an even layer.
• Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheddar and 1/2 cupmozzarella.
• Bake the casserole, uncovered, until the cheese is melted and the casserole is hot, about 15 minutes.
• Turn the oven to broil, then continue cooking until the cheese is lightly browned, about 3 to 4 additional minutes, watching carefully so that the cheese does not burn.
• Let rest 5 minutes, sprinkle with chopped cilantro and green onions, and serve.

TEX-MEX HOT DISH

Steps:

• Spray a medium sized casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange in the bottom of this dish enough tortilla chips to cover the bottom well. Cook and drain the seasoned ground beef and pour into the bottom of the casserole dish over the tortilla chips.
• Pour over this your drained pinto beans, then add partially drained Ro-Tel Tomatoes. Top this with your Cream of Mushroom (or other type) Soup, spreading it around evenly. With your hands, break up some tortilla chips (about 2 hands full) and spread around the top. Doesn't have to completely cover it...
• Add shredded cheese and arrange on top the drained sliced black olives and the french fried onion rings. Place in the preheated oven for about an hour. Cheese on top should be melted and browning somewhat.
• Serve hot with crackers or tortilla chips. **Note: Campbells makes a Cream of Chile Poblano Soup that is just wonderful for this dish! But I doubt it is available everywhere. If you can get it, this would be the perfect kind of soup to use in this casserole. Bon apetit' y'all!
