Mexican Dinner Casserole



(This recipe came from a newspaper, back in the day.  My young family liked this so much, I made it often )

1 lb. hamburger

1/2 med. onion (chopped)

1 can refried beans (16oz)

(I made my own from  home canned pinto beans, fried in oil with shredded colby/jack cheese and I add garlic salt to taste)

1/2 c. mild picante sauce (or salsa)

1 c. grated cheddar cheese

4 oz. Corn chips

Toppings :

1/3 head lettuce, chopped

1 tomato, chopped

guacamole (my homemade:  1 avocado, mayonnaise,  sprinkle lime juice over the top, garlic powder, and garlic salt to taste - I just eye it 

**Brown hamburger and onion, drain

spread in bottom of an 8 x 8 inch pan.  Mix refried beans with salsa and spread over ground beef, top with cheddar cheese and corn chips .  Bake in 350 F. oven until heated through about 20 minutes.  Top with tomatoes and lettuce and more corn chips.  I made homemade pico de gallo and used that as a topping too.
