Since the serving size is so large for my small family of 3 (well really family of 2 since baby David won't be eating this), I decided to freeze half and bake half. You can always just half the recipe of you would like.
Start with browning your meat with the onions. Then add your cans of corn, Rotel, tomato sauce and beans.
Alternate layers of meat with the crushed tortilla chips and shredded cheese.
Top with shredded cheese, sour cream and/or tomatoes.

DIRECTIONS

Thanks to my mom for my awesome Easter gift! I was able to use my Le Creuset square casserole dish for this meal. You can get one at Chefs Catalog for around $85.
