My mother used to make what she called "mexican casserole"?

Posted by: admin  /  Category: Mexican Casserole Recipes


It had beef, corn tortillias, onions&peppers, and cream of mushroom soup. (I remember i always thought eww when she put the mushroom soup in) I have no idea what else was in this recipe or how to cook it or anything else but it was so delicious. Sadly I can’t ask her what was in it, but I was wondering if any of you awesome ladies out there have any idea. I don’t know if she made it up herself (she was an awesome cook) or if its a real recipe out there somewhere. Any input would be so much appriciated. Haven’t had it since I was a little girl and it started sounding good the other day, still remember exactly what it tasted like! Thanks so much for your time.
So sorry I should have said awesome people not just ladies :)

Sounds like Enchilada Casserole to me.
She may have made some alterations or substitutions.

2 lbs. ground beef
6 corn tortillas
1/2 can cream of chicken
12 oz. Velveeta
2 oz. pimentos
1 can Ro-Tel tomatoes (including juice)
1 med. onion
1/2 can cream of mushroom
1 can Cheddar cheese soup
8 oz. Mozzarella
1 sm. can green chilies

Brown meat and onion.

Combine all soups (Ro-Tel also) and 3/4 Velveeta in saucepan and warm.

Place pieces of tortillas in greased 13×9x2" casserole dish. Layer meat, soup, pimentos, green chilies and remainder of Velveeta (combined with Mozzarella) ending up with last layer being cheese.

Cook in oven at 350 degrees
