Recipe for Day --

Okay here is the recipe I have chosen to share with you today...

Mary Jo's Bean Dip (don't let the title fool ya....this can be an entire meal for the family)
2-3 lbs ground beef
2 cans refried beans
8 oz sour cream
2 pks mexican cheese
16 oz jar of salsa
2 pkgs taco seasoning

Brown beef and stir in taco seasoning using directions on package. Set aside. In a greased 9 x 13 casserole dish spread refried beans, then sour cream, 1 package of cheese, meat mixture, salsa and then remaining cheese. Bake at 350 until cheese is melted. Serve with tortilla chips.

You can also put some lettuce and tomatoes on your plate to round out your meal when serving it for your family.

Now my frugal heart would tell you to shave your own cheddar cheese from a block because it is cheaper and if you have your own refried beans made up, of course use those, and if you canned some salsa last year from your bumper tomato crop then that is another money savings. And the last of course would be to use your own home made taco seasoning! :-)

Enjoy!
