My #1 granddaughter wanted to make this herself in her apartment in Frisco, Texas. I took a picture of where I had written it down in my recipe book. After seeing pictures of hers, it made me hungry for it so I made it for our supper and took pictures to post it here.
I remember we made this in home-economics class when I was in high school. We used corn tortillas and fried them a little before using them to layer in the casserole. We also used ranch style beans but I don’t like those so I have always used just plain pintos If I ever have leftover pinto beans when I cook beans, I freeze them and use them in this dish.
Ingredients:
One pound lean ground beef
One can tomatoes with green chilis (Rotel or any brand)
One can cream of chicken soup
One can pinto beans drained
Tortilla chips
Brown the hamburger and drain well
Add tomatoes
In casserole dish, put a layer of crushed chips on the bottom.
Put a layer of the hamburger, no more than half, over the chips.
On top of the meat, spoon the drained pinto beans on top.
Spoon the cream of chicken soup over the beans.
Add a layer of crushed chips.
Put the remaining meat over the chips.
Cover with shredded cheese. I used white cheddar in this picture.
Bake till bubbly and cheese is melted and starts to brown.
