This is what's for supper tonight!

Served up. It doesn't necessarily look pretty, but it tasted pretty darn good for as quick and easy as it was!! I liked it a lot!
Like everyone else, I have been tired of the same old stuff for supper every night. I decided I would do some looking around and try to come up with a few new things to try out. I haven't had much time to search, but I have found a few quick, easy suppers. I think I'm gonna try another one for our 4th Anniversary Dinner tomorrow. {If I have time, I have to go to a class at work tomorrow, and then Im gonna go get a pedicure :)}
Tonight we had a Mexican Casserole "type thing" I was following the recipe, with the help of my sweet little man that loves to help me cook so much, and I forgot to put the cup of milk it called for in. Oooops!! But, I don't think it affected it any becasue it called for 1/4 cup of Velveeta, and I don't know how much that is, so I just put in a chunk because you can never have too much cheese. So I think the extra cheese took place of the forgotten milk :) It also said to use tortilla chips on the bottom of the dish and then put the meat mixture in and top with more tortilla chips. I changed it up a little and put flour tortillas on the bottom, some meat mixture, and then alternated it three times, and then put crumbled tortilla chips on top.
Here is the recipe as I found it, but you can follow my little variations too. :)
1 lb ground beef
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1 tsp cumin
salt and pepper
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 can Ranch Style Beans
1 Can Ro-Tel Original Diced Tomatoes
1 Can Cream Of Mushroom Soup
1 cup milk
1/4 cup Velveeta Cheese
1/2 bag Tostitos Restaurant Style Chips
Brown beef and onion in skillet. Drain. Add cumin, salt, pepper and chili powder.
Combine beans, tomatoes, soup, milk and cheese in a large saucepan. Cook and stir until cheese is melted. Add to beef mixture.
Place a layer of tortilla chips in bottom of a baking dish. Top with beef mixture and remaining tortilla chips.
Bake at 350* until hot. Serve with tortilla chips and sour cream. (I would add some alvacado to the side too if I had some!!)
