Taco Casserole

This is a great casserole! It's easy and kids love it too...I've fed this to my niece and nephews before. (I told them it was nachos....) They liked it!

Ingredients: 1 lb. of ground turkey
                    1 onion, chopped
                    2 packages of shredded cheese
                    1 can of mexican corn, drained
                    Jar of salsa - about 3 cups worth (I used the black bean and corn salsa, but you can choose your favorite)
                   1 bag of tortilla chips (8 oz. bag) I get the wheat ones
                   Foil


                   Directions: Brown the meat and drain. Then, take away from stove top and add the salsa, onion, and corn. (make sure you drain the corn) Stir it up until mixed well. Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 9x13 pan. Layer half of the chips on the bottom of the greased pan. I crunch them up just a little bit, but keep them in big pieces for the most part. Then, put a layer of the meat mixture, and then cheese (I use an entire bag for each layer...I know some people may think that's an absurd amount of cheese....so use to your desire.) Then, do one more layer of chips, meat mixture and end with cheese. Then, cover with foil and bake for about 30 minutes.

     * A handy tip! You can freeze this meal ahead of time! Just do everything the same, but after you cover with foil, put it in the freezer. Then, when ready to bake , do it at 350 degrees for about 50 minutes.
