Recipe

I've always enjoyed Stef's recipes, so I'll post one of my own! I found this recipe while at my parents' house, and it was a hit with everyone!

Ortega Fiesta Bake

2 lbs ground beef (I used ground turkey)

1 C chopped onion

1 1/2 C salsa

1 1/2 pkg taco seasoning

1/2 C water

1 can corn, drained

2 small cans sliced olives, drained

2 pkg corn muffin mix

2 C shredded cheddar cheese

1 large can (7 oz) diced green chilies (I used a 4oz can to make it less spicy)

• Preheat oven to 350. Cook beef and onion. Stir in salsa, taco seasoning and water and cook over low heat for 5-6 minutes or until mixture is thickened. Stir in corn and olives. Spoon into greased 9x13 pan.

• Prepare batter for corn muffins according to package directions. Stir in cheese and chilies. Spread over mixture in pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until topping is done.

Makes a nice, large casserole that easily will serve 8-10 people. Serve with sour cream if desired.
