Day #5 - Lazy Tacos
This is another modified recipe. Yes, I swear I will make real posts eventually, but work is eating my soul, and not nicely.
This has some sort of boring name like 'hot tomato hamburger casserole' but as
osprey_cat dubbed it, it is now Lazy Tacos.
I'm halving what I did-I feed seven or more for most meals, so it's not quite necessary.
1 to 1 1/2 lb ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 10oz can of tomatoes and green chilies (Aldi's brand is 14.5, and worked fine)
4 cups of cheese, grated. Coarsely is actually prefered
8oz of tortilla chips (don't use a weak, thin chip, or this will go to mush)
Brown the beef and cook the onion. If you have any spare veggies and peppers, throw those in too, and make sure to season the beef, garlic, pepper, paprika, taco seasoning, whatever you have handy. Drain the can of tomato and green chilies well, and in a bowl mix it well with the can of cream of chicken soup. Smash the bag of chips-feel free to throw in any partial bags of other tortilla chips, more chips won't hurt it. Preheat the oven for 350, and layer half the chips, then two cups of the cheese (two big hand fulls is 2 cups, if you want to guess.) Spoon on the mixed tomatoes and soup-it's going to look gross. Spoon the meat and veggies and onion out of the pan, draining well. You don't want it to be greasy. Two more hand fulls of cheese, and the rest of the chips, and then put it in the oven for 20 minutes. You want to eat this right out of the oven, otherwise it sort of locks up into a giant block, which is kind of amusing too. I served it with a can of black olives and sour cream to add if people wanted it.
