Quesadilla Casserole

I made this last night for dinner and I have to admit I was a little skeptical as to how it would turn out, but I must say it was really good! Definitely one I will make again and we have plenty of left overs for lunch today. I got the recipe from this McCormick spice packet thing. Sorry for the somewhat fuzzy pictures, I was under serious pressure to hurry up. I had a 1 1/2 year old starting to whine, due to low blood sugar, and a ravenous husband that kept saying "I'm staving" and "what time will it be ready". Anyways, let me know what you think. 

What You'll Need

Not Pictured: Cheddar cheese, Oregano Leaves and Chili Powder

1 lb. ground beef

1/2 cup chopped onion

2 cans (8 oz each) tomato sauce

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (8 3/4 oz) whole kernel corn, undrained

1 can (4 1/2 oz) chopped green chiles, undrained

6 flour tortillas (8-inch)

2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

2 tsp chili powder

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp minced garlic

1/2 tsp oregano leaves

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper

Instructions

In a large skillet, over medium-high heat brown the ground beef and onion. Drain the beef and return to skillet. Add in the beans, 

corn, 

green chiles,

and tomato sauce.

Stir to combine;

Mix in all the spices (note: I didn't add the crushed red pepper at this time because I have a little person that ate this. Dave and I sprinkled a little on our before we ate it). Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to medium-low and let simmer for about 7 to 8 minutes.

Coat a 13x9x2 inch baking dish with no-stick cooking spray. Spread 1 cup of the mixture on the bottom of dish. 

Top that with 3 tortillas; 

Next, layer half of the remaining mixture and half of the cheese.

Repeat with the remaining tortillas, beef mixture and cheese. 

Can you see the layers? ^

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes or until heated through. 

Serve and enjoy!!!
