This went together quickly and was very tasty. I used ground chuck and dried minced onions. My layers did not hold together and tortilla chips would have been nice to scoop with. Maybe refried beans mixed in with the ground beef to give it a thicker texture. We topped ours with a dollop of sour cream and salsa. Thank you Sharlene for posting your recipe. I will make this again but definitely have chips available. Made and reviewed for the Alphabet Chef tag game.

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7.
I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
