Recipe: Taco Casserole

Name: Recipe: Taco Casserole
Ingredients: 1 pound ground beef; (Optional cup of rice, if I want to stretch the ground beef); 1 small onion, finely chopped; 1/2 tsp. garlic powder; 1 envelope of taco seasoning; 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce; 1 cup sour cream (light sour cream works perfectly); 1 cup cottage cheese (I have made this with all cottage cheese in a pinch, when I was missing sour cream or vice versa); 2 cups crushed tortilla chips (this is how I use up our crushed stale remnants in the pantry); 2 cups (8 ounces) grated Monterey Jack cheese (or whatever cheese you have on hand); (Variations: I have added minced garlic, chopped peppers, tomatoes, and various shredded garden veggies to make it a really healthy option, along with the addition of black beans.)
