this has been a family favorite of my family forever. My BF will eat the whole thing if I don't grab a bite after I make it. It gets better after it sits in the fridge all night. I usually like to add a small saute onion and hot pepper... No matter what this is by far my favorite meal... -
I had lost my Grandmothers recipe for this. Thanks Audrey for finding it for me. I was so excited to find this recipe, I didn't realize I was out of any form of tortillas and live too far out in the country to just run to the store, so I used spaghetti noodles. My family ate every bite. A new favorite casserole with noodles instead. but I like the corn tortillas best! -
This is a great recipe!!! I will probably try this with tortilla chips next time to add a crunch but over all it was fantastic. It makes alot so if you have a small family I would half it. -
My family enjoyed this. My husband wants me to cut down on the Ro-tel next time, or maybe just use regular canned tomatoes. -
Very good and very easy. I used the milder rotel and my 2 year old loved it. You know it's good if a toddler will eat it on his own!

I am a mother of three and live in central Pennsylvania. My children were very active in after school activities and found we weren't spending anytime together at meal time. In 1998, I decided to start cooking my dinners in a crockpot so that we could have a home cooked meal together once everyone came home. My children now get so excited to see what we are having to eat and love the smell when they walk in the door. My family calls me the crock pot queen. LOL I use my crock pot everyday of the year.

<br>My three children are now in college and before they come home they request their favorite meal. I still continue to cook in the crock pot for my husband and I. It is nice after a long day to know your meal is ready. It also helps in keeping my grocery bill down. With zaar, I can print my shopping list and that is all I purchase is the ingredients on that list.

<br>Now, my two daughters have been crock pot cooking while in college. They find it is easy to cook for the themselves and their friends. It is an easy way to have friends over for dinner after classes
<br>
<br>I still love trying new recipes and purchasing cookbooks, especially crock pot cookbooks.
<br>
<br>Happy Cooking!
