Mexican Casserole

This recipe might not  be pretty but it will quickly become your favorite!  It’s packed with so much flavor. The combination of beef, corn, beans and noodles will not disappoint. Did I mention it’s a one pot dinner that only takes 40 minutes until it hits your table!

My 20 year old daughter has been sending me pictures of recipes that are drool worthy.  When I saw this one, I could tell why she loved it……cheese! I wasn’t sure that we would love this because it seemed weird to have egg noodles with Mexican ingredients, but it works! It really does work!

TIPS AND TRICKS

PROTEIN: You can use any kind of protein you would like, it will still taste so yummy!

BEANS: We used kidney beans but black beans would be tasty or if you don’t love beans, leave them out.

STORAGE: This will store well in the fridge up to 3 days in an airtight container. It would also be a great freezer meal.

CHEESE: I used cheddar cheese but a Mexican blend would be so good.
