Taco Casserole
by Janet Crow from Quinwood, WV
This taco casserole is easy on the budget and easy to make. The bottom is like a crunchy taco with all your favorite taco ingredients on top. Refried beans, taco seasoning, and salsa are added to the browned ground beef and spread on top of the crushed tortilla chips. Then, it’s sprinkled with cheese, green onions, and chopped tomatoes. After being baked, the cheese is nice and gooey. Shredded lettuce is then sprinkled on top. We also topped ours with taco sauce and a touch of sour cream, but it’s just as delicious the way it’s made. Here’s the recipe.
Baked Layered Tex-Mex Dip
by Melissa Sperka from Greensboro, NC
This baked layered Tex-Mex dip won’t win a beauty pageant, but it makes up for that in flavor. Cream cheese mixed with salsa is the base. Then tomatillo salsa verde is spread on top and we loved the flavor it adds. Next is chili. If you have leftover chili, this is a great use for that. Melted cheese in between each layer brings the dip together. A great party appetizer and for game day snacking. Have the chips ready for everyone to dig in! We served ours with tortilla chips, but corn chips would be a good option too. Click here for the recipe.
Creamy King Ranch Chicken “Stoup”
by Tammy Brownlow from Dallas, TX
You’ll go back for seconds after trying this chicken “stoup”. Not as thick as stew or thin as soup, this “stoup” has an assortment of ingredients that all pair well together. The tomatoes with chiles add a nice kick of heat. We enjoyed the pops of sweetness from the corn and sweet bell pepper. Creamy, without being too thick, it’s a hearty meal. Get the recipe here.
