This was good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written other then I used diced tomatoes instead of rotel. I also used a bit more cheese. I used a cup of the each of the cheeses as we like a lot of cheese. I made this for freezer tag. I made the casserole as directed but after step 4, I froze it. The day I was making, I pulled from the freezer and let thaw in the fridge. I then baked as directed.

    Nice combination of ingredients - like you described - not overly spicy which is a plus for family meals. I think I'll stir the Rotel and mushroom soup together and put them both under the cheese (next to the tortillas) so the soup will incorporate into the other ingredients. In the past year we had discovered the Ranch Style Beans and use them in a lot of dishes. They are great and lend a lot to this casserole. Thanks for something new and delicious.

    This is a great tasting casserole that is so easy to prepare. The only thing I did different was used about 1 1/2 lbs of ground beef instead of the 2 lbs. I can't wait to make another batch to freeze for when we travel. It will be great to serve at our pot luck dinners too. Thanks so much for sharing, Peggy Lynn.

    Dh just went nuts for this. I used one pound ground beef and one pound ground turkey, lowfat or fat free versions of the cheeses and soup, and whole wheat tortillas. I've got enough leftover to freeze for two more meals. My kind of recipe. Thanks, Peggy Lynn.
