• Thursday, June 5, 2008 - Pinto Bean Casserole
Here's one of my oldies, but goodies. I used to make this fairly often, but then the recipe went away....I found it last week and made it yesterday. All the children liked it, even the picky one! This was my choice for "Say No To Kraft" at Keeper of the Home's blog.
Pinto Bean Casserole
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
tortilla chips
2 (15 oz) cans diced tomatoes, drained
4 (15 oz) cans pinto beans drained and rinsed OR soak 2 cups dried pintos overnight, then cook until soft
2 cans tomato sauce
1 pound frozen corn
1/2 cup taco seasoning
shredded cheese
Brown the ground beef, then add the taco seasoning and 3/4 cups of water. Cook until most of the water is evaporated.
Combine seasoned ground beef, beans, tomatoes, corn and tomato sauce in a very large bowl.
Grease a 9x13 lightly with butter. Lay down a layer of crushed tortilla chips. Cover with the mixture from the large bowl. Top with shredded cheese. Repeat layers once.
Bake in a 350 oven for 15-20 minutes to warm everything and melt the cheese.
Yummy, nourishing and simple! Just my kind of meal. I like it topped with shredded lettuce, too. You could also add olives, sour cream and/or hot sauce! The picky one liked it with about a gallon of hot sauce.
