LAYERED MEXICAN CASSEROLE 
1 1/2 lb. ground beef
3 tbsp. chili powder
1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp. salt
Pepper to taste
4-6 flour tortillas
1 lg. onion, sliced or chopped
1 can Ro-Tel tomatoes
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 (8 oz.) sour cream
1 c. ranch style beans
1 (8 oz.) cheddar cheese, grated

Butter a 13 x 9 casserole dish. Tear tortillas into quarters and line casserole. Brown ground beef with spices. Drain well. Cover tortillas with ground beef. Next layer onions. Ranch style beans are layered next followed by half the cheese. Mix together the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream and Ro-Tel tomatoes.

Pour over casserole. Top with remaining cheese. Cover with foil and bake about 30 minutes at 350 degrees. I like to use 1 1/2 cups of homemade pinto beans instead of the ranch style beans.

This makes 1 large casserole or can be made in 2 medium ones. Freezes well.
