Quesadilla Casserole

Last week I decided to make a couple freezer meals to have on hand for when I didn't feel like cooking. This is one of them and I must say it was delicious. I made a couple modifications like using corn tortillas instead of flour and using lean ground beef. This recipe comes from Joyful Momma's Kitchen.

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried minced garlic
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper (optional)
16 oz tomato sauce
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (8 3/4 oz) whole kernel corn, undrained
1 can (4 1/2 oz) green chilies, undrained
6 flour tortillas (8 inch size)
2 cups shredded Cheddar Cheese

Directions:
1. Brown beef and onion in a large skillet on medium-high.  Add tomato sauce, beans, corn and green chilies.  Mix well.  Stir in all of the spices except the red pepper.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat low and simmer 5 minutes.  Add red pepper to taste if desired.
2. Spread 1/2 cup of the beef mixture on bottom of 9X13 pan (sprayed with pam). Top with 3 of the tortillas, overlapping as needed.  Layer with 1/2 of the remaining beef mixture and 1/2 of the cheese.  Repeat with remaining tortillas, beef and cheese.  
3. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until heated through.  Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!!

This would be yummy with sour cream or guacamole on top. We used plain Greek yogurt to top ours. To do as a freezer meal, layer ingredients in a foil pan and double wrap with aluminum foil then freeze. To cook, just place in the fridge the night before you want to cook it then bake as directed.
