El Dorado Casserole is easy to make.\u00a0 It has two layers you mix \u2013 a meat layer and a sour cream layer.\u00a0 Then you add a layer of cheese, and a layer of tortilla chips.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re definitely going to taste the garlic and onion in the meat layer.\u00a0 And you\u2019ll experience a little kick from the green chilies in the sour cream layer.\u00a0 You\u2019ll love the melted cheese and the crunch from the tortilla chips.\u00a0 It all comes together beautifully into a delicious Mexican inspired dish.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re a friend of mine and you\u2019ve just had a baby or gotten out of the hospital this is the casserole I\u2019m going to bring you.\u00a0 You\u2019re welcome.<\/p>\n
We learned over the years, that it is better to give \u201csmaller-sized\u201d dishes to people.\u00a0 For us, it was overwhelming to eat a very large dish all at one meal. \u00a0Since, within two days of receiving a meal, another friend would bring over another dish. \u00a0So the leftovers never got eaten; half of it usually went to waste.<\/p>\n
Now, when I make this casserole I put it into TWO 8 inch square aluminum pans.\u00a0 One pan for our friends and one for us.<\/p>\n
When I deliver the casserole to a friend, I cover the pan with aluminum foil and write on it FREEZE OR<\/strong> UNCOVER AND BAKE AT 350\u00ba FOR 35 MINS.<\/p>\n So if your friend has plenty of meals in the fridge, this casserole is ready to freeze for later – when the meals stop coming.\u00a0 They can bake it and have enough until the next meal comes.<\/p>\n And both families also get half of a large salad, half of a loaf of garlic bread, and half of a dessert.\u00a0 This way, each family gets a whole dinner, not just one dish.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need to make it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here\u2019s how I make it.<\/p>\n In a skillet, brown hamburger on medium heat.\u00a0 Drain off grease.\u00a0 Add tomato sauce, olives, garlic salt, and minced onion.\u00a0 Mix. Set aside.\u00a0 Preheat oven to 350\u00ba<\/p>\n In a small bowl, combine cottage cheese, sour cream, and green chilies.\u00a0 Set aside.<\/p>\n Grease a 9 x 13 casserole dish with butter (or two 8\u201d square baking pans).\u00a0 Spread half the tortilla chips on the bottom of the dish.<\/p>\n Cover with half of the meat mixture.<\/p>\n Spread half of the cottage cheese mixture on top of the meat layer, then top with half the cheese.<\/p>\n Repeat all of the layers.\u00a0 Bake uncovered for 35 minutes.\u00a0 Let stand for about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n My family is pretty happy when someone needs a meal because they get\u00a0to enjoy this little treasure.<\/p>\n Enjoy, your family will like it too.<\/p>\n El Dorado Casserole – Recipe<\/a><\/p>\n See you at Walmart!<\/p>\n Jennifer<\/span><\/p>\n Yes I Love Walmart.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n
