Tex Mex Casserole

The weather here is warmer this week than last. Last week it was in the twenties and thirties; today it was sixty degrees. This is January it should be snowing, right? Not that I’m hoping for snow. It’s just that’s the weather I expect in January.

Maybe it’s the crazy winter weather. Maybe it’s that I’ve been sick with the flu and then bronchitis. Or maybe it’s just how busy I’ve been recovering from all the things I didn’t get done when I was sick. But today I was craving comfort food. One of my favorite comfort foods is Tex-Mex Casserole. This is delightfully easy throw together. It’s made with simple ingredients that combine together to create a smokey flavored ground beef dish with some spice.

I tend to use a lot of cheese when I make this casserole. Sometimes I get carried away and use more cheese than the recipe calls for. If you love cheese too then don’t be shy add a little extra. This recipe is flexiable

    I’m originally from Vermont and now I live in Texas and besides maple syrup and ice cream, I have no idea what I use to eat before I moved here. I love these dishes!
