I believe this is going to be put in the dinner rotation...

I added a little water in the hamburger when I added the stewed tomatoes and chili seasoning as there wasn't enough liquid from the tomatoes...

I think I will change a few things next time and see how it goes...
Instead of the stewed tomatoes, I'm thinking Rotel since I can't find the fiesta cheese soup...
And then substitute Taco seasoning for the chili seasoning...
Also thinking of putting refried black beans in the hamburger after it gets done simmering with the rotel and seasoning... I also do this when I make tacos...

Again... Thanks for posting this as it really is pretty damn good... Everybody liked it...

To all of you that's thinking about making it... I suggest you do...

Oh man that looks great! Granted, I just had it saturday, But I'd belly up to a plate or two of yours! I'm glad you and yours liked it. And your changes in the recipe may be some of the changes I make next time. I like your ideas. I've always felt that a recipe was a guideline. I make it the first time following that and then think about what I'd change to make it mine.

Mom turns 76 on Monday. I did a brisket last month for dad’s 76th. Was talking to my brother the day and was discussing what to do for moms b-day. He said she has been talking about her Mexican casserole she used to make all the time, but it had gotten to where she couldn’t do it anymore. I said, no worries i got this…Got her to send me a pic of her 40 yr old recipe card.

And ended up making a double batch since my cousin and his wife (also her birthday) were down visiting. Followed the recipe card and just doubled everything.
