Great Mexican casserole! I used only one pound of ground beef, and added minced garlic instead of garlic powder (we're garlic fiends). Didn't have green chilis, so I dumped in about 1/4 cup medium salsa instead. The bake time was just right - I used a large cake pan (13 x 9) to bake it in. I will make it again, but won't use 2 cans of diced tomatoes - I'll just use one, then I think it will be perfect! Thanks for the recipe.

Easy and Yummy!!!!! I did not have tortillas so I left them out and this was still delicious. If you don't have tortillas and want to make this I would recommend reducing the amount of liquid, to perhaps 4 ounces of tomato sauce or just 1 cup of tomatoes. Definite keeper!!!!!!!!

This is a wonderful dish. I especially like the crust from the soup and milk mixed together. My husband liked it, and he is hard to please. It is especially good on the second day, too!
