Layered Mexican Bake.

We make this one when I just want something quick and tasty.  It is super easy to make a head of time.  Pop it in the oven when you are ready!  We serve this with a salad on the side.  I am not sure if you could freeze this ahead of time since it has layers of sour cream.  

Almost ready, just layer, bake and then broil the cheese to melt it a little more on top if necessary.

The meat mixture is ready within minutes.  I can usually find almost everything in my pantry or veggie drawer. Add whatever vegetable you have on hand, the salsa flavours everything.

3/4 lb extra-lean ground beef 

1 large  onion, chopped

2 red peppers, chopped

4 tsp.  chili powder

1 1/4 cups chunky red salsa
