Saw it, pinned it, did it. . . .

Amazing what a little sun can do. . . .

  On Saturday I got up waaay too early for a Saturday and went to watch Cooper play baseball.

 

 If felt really good just to be outside and be in the warm sun.  

I get really tired of being in my office tower 8 hours a day. 

 I'm looking forward to Spring.  

I mean actual Spring.  

Not the Stg spring that lasts 1 week and then goes directly to 120 degree summer.  

No.  Not looking forward to that business.

  It's amazing how a little warm sun can change your mood!

I'm just flaky. . . .

I took a break.

After doing my photo blog last year I needed a little break.  So, I'm back, hopefully with more posts but probably not so I won't put my expectations way up there.  

Saw it, pinned it, made it. . . .

This was really, really yummy!  Hopefully the left overs are just as good because I halved the recipe
(I'm cooking for one)
and it still made a lot.

Easy Mexican Casserole
 

 1 pound lean ground beef
1 can Ranch Style beans
1 10-12 ounce bag tortilla chips, crushed
1 can Ro-tel tomatoes with green chili's
1 small onion, chopped
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 package taco seasoning
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup water
sour cream and salsa for serving

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large skillet, brown meat and drain off fat. Stir in beans, tomatoes, onion, taco seasoning, soup and water. Simmer over medium-low heat until everything is well combined and heated through.

Grease a 9×13 casserole dish. Put down a layer of crushed tortilla chips, followed by a layer of the meat/bean mixture, then half of the cheddar cheese. Repeat layers. Cover with foil and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until bubbly.

Let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving. Top with sour cream and salsa.
