The only "sweet" you will find in this week's pie is the exclamation made after the first bite-"sweeeeeeeeeeeeet" (interpretation: good!!!). My son described it as a many-layered quesadilla and my husband prefered scooping some of his into a seperate taco shell. I ate mine directly from the dish with no additions (although a dollop of sour cream on top would be a good addition). I modified this recipe to my family's taste (no beans, no olives, and picante sauce rather than taco sauce). We found it quite tasty.
Ingredients: 2 pounds ground beef, 1 onion, chopped, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, 1 (2 ounce) can black olives, sliced, 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chile peppers, 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, 1 (16 ounce) jar taco sauce, 2 (16 ounce) cans refried beans, 12 (8 inch) flour tortillas (I used corn), 9 ounces (or more) shredded Colby cheese (I used Mexican cheese).
Instructions: In a large skillet over medium heat, saute the ground beef for 5 minutes. Add the onion and garlic, and saute for 5 more minutes or until beef is browned. Drain any excess fat. Mix in the olives, green chile peppers, tomatoes with green chile peppers, taco sauce and refried beans. Stir mixture thoroughly, reduce heat to low; let simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread a thin layer of the meat mixture in the bottom of a 4 quart casserole dish. Cover with a tortilla followed by more meat mixture, then a layer of cheese. Repeat tortilla, meat, cheese pattern until all the tortillas are used, topping off with a layer of meat mixture and cheese.
Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 20-30 minutes, or until cheese is slightly brown and bubbly.
Serve directly from dish to plate or scoop into separate warmed tortilla shells along with some lettuce, sour cream, etc.
