Mexican Casserole


Tom, Melanie and me enjoying the Mexican Casserole.






1 lb. uncooked lean ground beef (7% fat)
1/2 c. green peppers
1/2 c. onion
2/3 c. water
1.25 oz. pkg of Taco Seasoning Mix
14 oz. can diced tomatoes
6 large tortilla (flour or whole wheat)
16 oz. Taco Bell Home Originals Fat-Free Refried Beans
3 c. 2% shredded cheese (mexican)

Cook beef, green pepper and onion over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain well. Add water and taco seasoning, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered for 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and simmer for another 10 min. Place 2 tortillas in a sprayed 13" x 9" x 2" baking dish. Spread with half of the refried beans and beef mixture. Top with 1 cup of the shredded cheese. Repeat layers. Top with remaining tortillas and cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 min. or until heated through and cheese is melted. Let rest for 5 minutes and cut into 8 servings.
