This ground beef tortilla casserole is simple to make and is on the table in about an hour, so it is weekday friendly.

How can you not love a good casserole when the temperatures start to dip? For me, casseroles are the perfect comfort food. They have been a part of my whole life.

How to make this ground beef tortilla casserole:

To start out the recipe you will want to add the ground beef and onions to a skillet. Season the ground beef with cumin, oregano, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.ย  Cook until the ground beef is no longer pink and the onion is tender. You will want to stir the ground beef occasionally as it cooks. When the ground beef is browned drain any grease.

While the ground beef is browning start the sauce in another skillet. For the sauce, you will melt butter and combine it with flour. Add chicken or beef broth along with milk to make the base of the sauce.ย  Once the sauce is thickened add salsa and sour cream to it.

Stir in the ground beef to the sauce. Take corn tortilla shells and cut them into 1-inch strips. Place one-half of the corn tortilla strips on the bottom of the pan. Top with the ground beef mixture and cheese, then repeat. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes and enjoy.

    Here in Sweden it’s Taco Friday. They say that the reason there are so few Mexican restaurants here is because everyone eats tacos on Friday. I love this casserole and will be making Friday night. Unfortunately we don’t get real corn tortillas here or have masa harina in our stores, so I’ll be making my own corn flour tortillas for this.

    While the temperatures won’t be dropping in Florida anytime soon, it wouldn’t stop me from making your casserole. BTW, I just wanted to let you know that the right side of your posts don’t show up on my computer. While I can get the idea of what you are writing, part of each sentence is chopped off.
