So 60’s you have to love it!  It sits in the frig for days, freezes, reheats – doesn’t matter.  I have been known to make it with leftover turkey too.

Ingredients:

• 2 lb ground beef
• 2 onions, diced
• 1 1/2 Tab oil
• 3 dz corn tortillas
• 1 can chili salsa (28 oz) ( I like to add 1 small can of tomato sauce.)
• 1 can sliced ripe olives (the small one)
• 1 1/2 lb Cheddar cheese, grated (6 cups)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven 300°.
2. Cook beef and onions until browned, stirring to crumble meat.
3. Cut tortillas in 1 inch squares (use scissors).
4. Place layer of 1/2 the tortillas in 9×13 baking pan, then a layer of 1/2 the beef.
5. Smother with 1/2 the chili salsa and top with 1/2 the sliced olives and 1/2 the cheese. (I go light on the cheese so I’ll have lots for the top.)
6. Repeat layers, topping with cheese.
7. Bake uncovered 300° for 45 minutes.

Serves: 8-12
