Fiesta Casserole

This is my new favorite thing to make for a big group...easier than lasagna and always a hit! Thanks to Kristal for the recipe!

1 lb. ground beef
1 green pepper, diced
1 red pepper, diced
1 onion, diced
2 c. frozen corn
2 c. Tex Mex cheese
1 can diced tomatoes
2 c. salsa
12 flour tortillas

Brown hamburger, onions and peppers. Drain. Add corn, tomatoes, and salsa. Bring to a boil. Layer in a 9x13" pan as you would lasagna--a little sauce, [tortillas, sauce, cheese] x 3.

Grillo Patriarchs

Just for fun, check out these two. What a pair!!!Honestly, though, aren't we blessed to have such kind, loving, hilarious father/grandpa/great grandpas? Wow!

Tutto fa brodo

Literally translated, tutto fa brodo means "everything makes soup," or "everything goes in the soup." Its usage, however, broadly means "a little bit of everything is good for you."
Thank you to Black Saturday Bushfire Diary for this explanation and for inspiring the name of our blog.
