Kitchen Experimentation

Lately, people have been posting all kinds of recipes on Facebook.  I think the Pampered Chef ladies are trying new ways to advertise on social media (can't blame them - those of us who are Stampin' Up! demonstrators try too).

I made one called Taco Bake recently and it was easy and good enough to make again - if you like Mexican food.  You just brown a pound of hamburger (I always add onion to hamburger for something like this), add a packet of taco seasoning and the water it calls for plus 1/2 c. salsa (or more).  Then layer a flour tortilla in a Pam sprayed round cake pan (I used the small tortillas), a layer 1/3 of the taco meat, a layer of Mexican cheese (about 1/2 c.), tortilla, meat, cheese, tortilla, meat, cheese.  Bake at 350 for 15-20 min. or until the cheese is melted and tortilla edges are slightly brown.

I served it with some lettuce, a little salsa, sour cream and cherry tomatoes.  Green onions would've made it better.

Happy April Fool's Day
