Enchilada Casserole

 This recipe is old as the hills.  I got it from a college roommate. In our apartment my freshman year, we would take turns cooking, and I loved it when Kathy would make this casserole.   I've been making it ever since.  It's an easy and quick family meal.

 Enchilada Casserole 
1 lb. lean hamburger
1 onion, chopped
2 cans tomato sauce
Taco Seasoning, to taste ( I just sprinkle some in- about a packet-sized amount)
1 can corn, drained
1 can olives, drained and chopped
Dash of Tabasco sauce, opt.

Cook the hamburger with the onion.  Drain if necessary.  Add the other ingredients and simmer together for a few minutes while you butter on both sides:

6 corn tortillas

In a sprayed 2 qut. casserole dish, layer:
2 buttered tortillas
meat sauce
grated Mexican blend cheese
2 butter tortillas
meat sauce
grated cheese
2 buttered tortillas
meat sauce
cheese
Bake at 350 until  it's bubbly and hot and the cheese is melted.  20-30 minutes.

*Fun note:  Preparing this post got me thinking about my roommate Kathy and wondering what happened to her.  I looked her up on facebook, and since she looks just the same, I was pretty sure it was her.  I messaged her and, sure enough, it was her.  I noticed that we had 1 mutual friend- my niece, Sharla.  So, I asked Kathy how she knew Sharla.  Sharla is married to her cousin, Ladd.  So, it's a small, small world.  It was so fun to reconnect with her.  I love how food does that.
