Mexi Meal Casserole

This is about a 30 minute meal and I LOVE fast! I’m always making casserole type dishes because I have a family of 5 to feed and meals like this make it a breeze.

The first ingredient you’ll notice is the crescent rolls. I also used these in my Cream Cheese Danish the other day and have found many more uses for them!! I did have to make some substitutions in the recipe because I only had a certain kind of the ingredient called for. The recipe calls for Taco seasoning but I only had chili seasoning which seemed to be just fine. It also calls for Mexican Velveeta but I only regular. Never-the-less, it was GOOD, FAST, and EASY!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 pounds ground beef, browned
  • 1 (10-ounce) can Ro-Tel tomatoes, OR 1 (16-ounce) jar of hot sauce
  • 1 envelope taco seasoning
  • 2 (8-count) refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 1 (8-ounce) box Mexican Velveeta, sliced

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 400′.  Combine browned ground beef with Ro-Tel tomatoes, taco seasoning, and cheese; just kind of make sure the cheese is somewhat melted and set aside.  For a crust by pressing 1 can crescent rolls into bottom of lightly greased 9×13 pan.  Layer beef mixture on top of crust and place other can of crescent rolls on top.  Bake 15-20 minutes.  Serves 8:)

    Looks delish and v. much an upside down version of my mexican pie. I’ll need to try your version with Velveeta & Taco seasoning vs. jar of salsa and shredded cheese. Love it! Thanks.
