easy mexican casserole
This is one of our favorite easy weeknight meals. It's so good, and I always look forward to making this again. And each time I try other changes, like adding some minced garlic or perhaps a diced jalapeno pepper or chopped bell pepper or adding difference vegetables. There are just so many ways to change this easy but delicious Mexican casserole.
