Taco Casserole

New recipe for taco casserole, I know there are many taco casserole recipes out there but this one was invented with the idea to use us some items that have been in my cupboard for a long time....

Taco Casserole

~1 1/2 pounds of ground beef (or turkey, or chicken) found in the back of the freezer.
~one packet of taco seasoning found in the back of the cupboard.
~one small can of black olives (drained), that was found next to the seasoning.
~one can of diced tomatoes (drained), found in the back of the other cupboard sitting next to...
~one can of refried beans.
~1/2 bag of taco chip leftovers that were broken so "couldn't be used for nachos" according to the kids.
~3 cups shredded cheese (left over because we had not more "good" nacho chips)

1. cook ground beef according to taco seasoning instructions, making sure to boil out as much of the water as you can.
2. break the taco chips up and cover the bottom of a 9X13 baking dish. Layer ground beef on top of chips. Spread refried beans on top of ground beef (this can be the tricky part, but it can be done), add a layer of tomatoes and black olives and top with cheese.
3. place in 350 degree oven and go feed baby. For those who don't have the "baby timer" cook until cheese melts.

When done grab the container of sour cream you found in the back of the fridge, open it to find out someone put a empty container back in the fridge, so you serve without sour cream and enjoy.
