Hearty Tortilla Casserole image

Being single, I often halve this recipe to yield a meal for one plus a lunch I can take to work. When co-workers remark on how good it looks, I ask them over to try it, then pass along the recipe. It's hot but not overpowering. -Terri Nelson, Warren, Minnesota

This casserole was a little too spicy for my taste. I think I would use less chili powder next time.

This recipe was a disaster! The casserole was dry and crumbly. I don't know what I did wrong.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a different type of cheese. I used cheddar and I think a Mexican blend would be better.
