Layered Mexican Bake

I didn't get a photo of my own because honestly I didn't think I could do it deliciousness justice so I stole the photo from the actual site I got the recipe from. Check it out at Kraft Food and Family here! Fairly simple to make and it was a hit with my whole family!


3/4 lb. extra-lean ground beef ( I used venison hamburger)
1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
2 tsp. chili powder
1-1/4 cups Thick 'N Chunky Salsa ( I used our homemade canned salsa)
1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen corn
3 whole wheat tortillas (8 inch)
1/2 cup Sour Cream
3/4 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, divided


HEAT oven to 375ºF.

BROWN meat with onions and peppers in large skillet on medium-high heat. Stir in chili powder; cook 1 min. Add salsa and corn; mix well. Simmer 5 min.

SPREAD 1 cup meat sauce onto bottom of 8- or 9-inch square baking dish; top with layers of 1 tortilla, 1/2 cup meat sauce, sour cream and 1/4 cup cheese. Cover with 1 tortilla, 1 cup of remaining meat sauce and 1/4 cup of remaining cheese; top with remaining tortilla and meat sauce. Cover with foil.

BAKE 25 min. or until casserole is heated through. Top with remaining cheese; bake, uncovered, 5 min. or melted.
