My mom made this for our family growing up and it was always a huge hit. I'm not sure where it got it's name, it sounds so strange to me. You'll see at the end how I attempt to do the name justice :) Either way I love it because it's cheap, filling, reminds me of being a kid, and my kids don't throw a fit when I dish it up! Score!
So here you go:
Serves 4
Ingredients:
1lb ground beef
1sm can tomato sauce
1sm can enchilada sauce
1 can of kidney beans
Salt
Cornstarch
Garnishes: Fritos, cheese and sour-cream
Season the ground beef with a little salt then fully brown.
While the meat is cooking, drain and rinse your kidney beans.
Pour in the two cans of sauces and kidney beans and give it a good stir. Let simmer for 15 minutes and if needed stir in a little cornstarch to thicken the sauce.
Dish it up in a bowl or deep plate and garnish to look like a pie. Classy huh? Hopefully the embarrassment of this being the first recipe I share with you will light a fire under me to really get cooking!
I love how you're able to make a simple dish look so chic!!! Thanks for helping me add one more dish to my 30-minute meals recipe list!
