Well this move has definitely been more than we expected.... but we are moving right along on painting and will finally be all moved in to the house this weekend.
I was looking for meals to make and freeze and found a version of this on my favorite blog... myblessedlife.net and I changed it to fit Luke and me.
See if you enjoy it as much as we did..
Mexican Tortilla Casserole
1 lb. of ground beef (browned)
2 cups of fresh mild salsa (in the summer we make our own)
1 large carton of fat free cottage cheese
2 cups of low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
8 corn tortillas (6 inch size)
1 - 16 oz can of low sodium black beans (drained)
1) Brown the ground beef.
2) Combine 1 cup of fresh mild salsa, 1 can of low sodium black beans, and ground beef in a large bowl.
3)We used round casserole dishes that are disposable so they would be easy to freeze. Place 1 tortilla in bottom of dish, layer with ground beef mixture (just a light layer - all together, after step 4, you should use 1/2 the ground beef mixture). On top of ground beef put a layer of cottage cheese (all together, after step 4,you should use 1/2 the cottage cheese) and sprinkle with a little bit of cheddar cheese.
4) Repeat step 3 twice. After completing put one tortilla on top of put 1/2 cup of mild salsa and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
5) Bake at 350 Degrees for 30 to 40 minutes until cheese is bubble. Let sit for 10 minutes then cut and serve with lettuce, sour cream and guacamole.
Freezer: You will then repeat the 4 steps and make a second casserole to freeze. This is the perfect amount for 2-3 people. If you are making for more people - you will just use all the ingredients in one casserole, not two.
