Well--it starts at the tender age of three.
I ask my DD what she wants for a snack, and she decides on a Reeses Peanut butter cup. What do I do to counteract this? I tell her to share. Aye yai yai. What is this world coming to! Now, my older DD insists on an equally sugary snack for herself.
But, that's what happens when the trick or treat bags are overflowing, we had nowhere near the amount of trick-or-treaters that we anticipated, and now...I've decided.
This is the week that I insist upon nutritious food for my family. Starting with Sunday. So - meal plan for the Ludwig Household:
Sunday: Taco Casserole with Spanish Rice
* 1 lb ground beef
* 1 pkg taco seasoning
* 1 can refried beans
* 1 can diced green chilis
* 1 can chopped black olives
* 1 jar salsa (El Torito)
* 1 container light Sour Cream
* 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
* 1 pkg fresh tortillas
* lemon pepper, garlic salt to taste
* 1 tbs EVOO
* 1 pkg Rice A Roni Spanish Rice
* 1 can chopped whole tomatoes
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Brown ground beef with dash of lemon pepper and garlic salt. Drain, and prepare with taco seasonings, as instructed on package.
Prepare refried beans, by cooking in pan over medium heat. Add handful of shredded cheddar cheese, and about 1/3 jar of salsa. Stir until cheese is melted and remove from heat.
In a casserole dish, pour EVOO to grease bottom.
Layer pan in the following order:
* Tortilla
* Beans
* Ground Beef
* Chilis
* Sour Cream
* Olives
* Cheese
* Repeat until you reach the top of casserole dish.
Top with cheese and bake for 20 minutes, or until the top cheese is nice and bubbly.
Serve with Rice A Roni Spanish Rice, cooked per instructions and enjoy!
This should have leftovers to spare, but I'll happily take suggestions for Tuesday/Wednesday.
Love, Ash
