Truth

Friendship isn't measured by words.

It's trust, honesty, loyalty, laughter, forgiveness, love & memories.

And it lasts a lifetime.

Epic Thought of the Day

There is no recipe for instant and continuous HAPPINESS.

You CREATE your own;

It’s not free of effort or easy to achieve.

That’s what makes you CHERISH it all the more.

HAPPINESS Begins And Ends With YOU.

Epic Thought of the Day

Perhaps the greatest judge of one’s character is what others say of them; rather then what they say of themselves.

Epic Thought of the Day

In life, you get what you give.

Beware of what you put out into the world, because it can & will come back at you ten fold.

It's up to you whether that is a good thing or not.

Epic Thought of the Day

Everything happens for a reason. Though you may not be aware of the reason at the time of the event, the experience was meant to teach you something. If you don't learn from your mistakes and misfortunes, you will continue to experience them.

Fiesta Taco Casserole Recipe

Fiesta Taco Casserole (betty croker recipe)

1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
1 can (15 to 16 oz) spicy chili beans in sauce, undrained
1 cup Old El Paso® Thick 'n Chunky salsa
2 cups coarsely broken tortilla chips
4 medium green onions, sliced (1/4 cup)
1 medium tomato, chopped (3/4 cup)
1 cup shredded Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (4 oz)
Tortilla chips, if desired
Shredded lettuce, if desired
Additional Old El Paso® Thick 'n Chunky salsa, if desired


1. 1 Heat oven to 350°F. In 10-inch skillet, cook beef over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until brown; drain. Stir in beans and 1 cup salsa. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally.

2. 2 In ungreased 2-quart casserole, place broken tortilla chips. Top with beef mixture. Sprinkle with onions, tomato and cheese.

3. 3 Bake uncovered 20 to 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Arrange tortilla chips around edge of casserole. Serve with lettuce and additional salsa.


**I think I am going to do mine in individual ramekins instead of one casserole dish... That way I can cook mine when I am ready to eat and then throw my hubby's in the over about 15-20 minutes before he'll be home from work. :)

I am guessing it will make four (4) servings this way, which is perfect!
