(This is a simple meal to whip up in less than an hour that even the kids love. Layers of seasoned ground beef, corn, tortilla chips and cheese are baked under a layer of Colby cheese. Monterey Jack is also good in place of the Colby cheese.)

Prep Time: 15 Minutes ~ Ready In: 35 Minutes ~ Yields: 6 servings

1 pound Ground Beef
1 1/2 cups Chunky Salsa
1 (10 ounce) can Whole Kernel Corn, drained
3/4 cup creamy Salad Dressing (e.g. Miracle Whip)
1 teaspoon Chili Powder
2 cups crushed Tortilla Chips
2 cups Colby Cheese

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring to crumble, until evenly browned. Drain grease. Remove from the heat, and stir the salsa, corn, mayonnaise and chili powder into the beef. In a 2 quart casserole dish, layer the ground beef mixture, tortilla chips and cheese twice, ending with cheese on top. Bake for 20 minutes uncovered in the preheated oven, until cheese is melted and dish is thoroughly heated.

The meat mixture can be made ahead and frozen. You can use instant potatoes if you're in a hurry. Prep time: approx 20 minutes. Cook time: approx. 25 minutes. Ready in approx. 45 minutes. 6 servings.

1 lb Potatoes, peeled & chopped
1 tbsp Canola Oil
1 lb Ground Beef (I've substituted ground turkey and it was fine)
1 large Onion
2 cloved Garlic
1 14 oz can Beef Broth
2 tbsp Ketchup
1 tbsp Soy Sauce
1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp mild Curry Powder
1 tbsp Cornstarch
1/4 cup Milk
1 tbsp Butter
1 cup shredded Extra Sharp Chedder

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes; drain, and return to pan. While potatoes are boiling heat oil in a large skillet. Cook ground beef with onion and garlic until evenly brown. Stir in beef broth, ketchup, soy sauce, worcestershire sauce, and curry powder. Bring to a boil, and simmer 3-4 minutes. Mix cornstarch with a little water to form a paste, then stir into skillet. Cook until thickened. Spoon into a casserole dish.Preheat oven to broiler setting. Add milk and butter to cooked potatoes and mash potatoes. Spoon potatoes on top of meat mixture and spread. Sprinkle cheese ontop of potatoes and put under broiler until cheese melts. FYI: you can add veggies to the meat mixture if you want. Like a 16 oz. package of frozen mixed peas and carrots.

This is my mother-in-law's recipe and is honestly the best spaghetti sauce ever!

1 lb Ground Beef
1 Onion, chopped
2-3 stalks Celery
2-3 cloves chopped Garlic or 1 tbsp Garlic Powder
1 jar Spaghetti Sauce (plastic/glass bottle type, not canned)
1 can chopped or stewed Tomatoes
1-2 tsp Italian Seasoning (start with 1 tsp, then add more to taste)
1-2 tsp Basil (start with 1 tsp, then add more to taste)
1-2 tsp Oregano (start with 1 tsp, then add more to taste)
1 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper
1-2 tsp Spicy Pepper Medley (start with 1 tsp, then add more to taste)
2 tbsp Salsa*

*if you have no salsa, add 1 tbsp green relish or 2 tbsp chili sauce - you may omit this altogether if you have none, it just adds that extra zip

Brown meat, onions and celery. Add spices, cook for a few minutes. Add spaghetti sauce, tomatoes and rest of ingredients. Simmer for several hours (the longer it simmers the tastier it gets!).
