Western Meal
(Taken from Homemade Gourmet Casserole Cookbook)

Ingredients:
* 1 pound (2 cups) Homemade Gourmet Taco Soup Seasoned ground beef, cooked
* 1 10-ounce can Rotel tomatoes, undrained
* 1 15-ounce can Ranch Style beans, undrained
* 1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
* 3/4 cup Minute Rice, uncooked
* 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Combine all ingredients, except for 1 cup cheese, in a greased 3 quart (13 x 9 x 2) baking dish
3. Bake, coved for 45 minutes. Sprinkle wiht remaining cheese; bake, uncovered for an additional 5 minutes.
Serves 8

One thing I like to do is prepare two of these casseroles at the same time. One for the family to eat that night. Another one to put in the freezer for another night. This way when I need a fast meal and I don’t have time to prepare one that day, I can put this in the oven and we have a tasty meal.
We like to eat our Western Casserole by itself or with chips. Sometimes we put it in flour tortillas like a burrito. We like to add sour cream and onions to it. Salsa is great on it as well.

It is really tasty!
Let me know if you try it or if you have a similar recipe.

Sincerely,
Stacey
