My hubby is so very laid-back, he’s happy with whatever I put on the table. I’m not kidding. If it’s been a crazy day and dinner just didn’t happen, he happily sits down and has a bowl of cereal. He will often give me the night off and whip up his specialty… breakfast for dinner.
There is one dinner, however, that my hubby will actually ask for, especially if we haven’t had it in the recent past. So when he asks, I deliver. I mean, how could I not? He endures cold cereal without even a cringe. The man deserves to have a request granted now and again.
The best part about his one main request is that it is embarrassingly easy. I don’t even bother with a recipe anymore. I just slap it together, bake it in the oven and dinner is on the table.
You’ll thank me for this one. It’s great for anything from a quick dinner to your next Super Bowl Party and get this… the leftovers are amazing!
Say hello to Mexican Mess. I just know you’ll be good friends.
Mexican Mess
1 bag tortilla chips
1 pound ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning (I use Ortega)
1 15oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 jar taco sauce (or enchilada sauce, if you are into spicy stuff)
1-2 cups of cheddar or colby jack cheese, shredded
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Prepare the ground beef and taco seasoning as directed on the seasoning packet. Add the black beans in the last few minutes of cooking to heat through.
Crush handfuls of tortilla chips into bite-size pieces and cover the bottom of a 9x13 pan with them. As much or as little as you like! Spread ground beef mixture over chips.
Pour about ½ of the taco sauce (less or more, if you choose) over the ground beef.
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the taco sauce.
Crush handfuls of tortilla chips again and cover the cheese with them. Again, as much or as little as you like!
Bake for 25 minutes. Serve with salsa and sour cream.
