Mexican anyone?

Tonight's recipe was my first try at Fiesta Taco Casserole. This recipe I found in the Betty Crocker Cookbook. My husband rated it a 6 out of 10 (10 being his favorite food...1 being well.... disgusting...). We've decided anything over 5 is repeatable. I give this recipe a 7 - but I'm a sucker for spicy food and casseroles.

Fiesta Taco Casserole
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 can (16 oz.) spicy chili beans in sauce, undrained.
1 cup salsa
2 cups coarsely broken tortilla chips
3/4 cup sour cream
4 medium green onions, sliced (1/4 cup)
1 medium tomato, chopped (3/4 cup)
1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (4 oz.)
Tortilla chips, if desired
Shredded lettuce, if desired
Salsa, if desired

1. Heat oven to 350 F.  In a 10 in. skillet, cook beef over medium heat 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until brown; drain. Stir in beans and 1 cup salsa. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally.
2. In ungreased 2-quart casserole, place broken tortilla chips. Top with beef mixture. Spread with sour cream. Sprinkle with onions, tomato and cheese.
3. Bake uncovered 20-30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Arrange tortilla chips around edge of casserole. serve with lettuce and salsa.

This recipe makes 4 servings - each serving about 1 1/4 cups. 1 serving is 620 calories. NOW before you gasp in shock let me tell you the revisions the recipe book suggests and the ones I added.
For 345 calories per serving substitute ground turkey breast for the ground beef; use reduced-fat sour cream and reduced fat cheddar cheese. (I used baked tortilla chips as well).

Here are pictures of the casserole before it was cooked and after with the chips around the edge.

Enjoy!
