Напрямки

In a skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.

Use a hamburger chopper to break meat down in small pieces while frying.

Add the beans, chilies, taco seasoning and 2 heaping tablespoonfuls salsa; mix well.

Heat through over medium heat about 5 minutes.

In a well greased deep dish 9x13” baking dish, spread at least a cup of the meat mixture on the bottom to prevent noodles from sticking.

Layer a row of four uncooked noodles and spread with one-third of the remaining beef mixture.

Sprinkle with 1 cup of cheese.

Repeat layers twice.

Combine remaining salsa and water in a small bowl; pour over top.

Cover and bake at 350° for 1 hour and a half, or until noodles test fork tender.

Uncover; top with sour cream, then cheese, then olives, then onions, and finally tomatoes.

Bake 5-15 minutes longer—until cheese melts.

Let stand 10-15 minutes before cutting.
