Fourth of July

I've been a bad blogger lately. It's a month later, but here's how we spent our Independence Day.

Marley getting some candy. She had a huge bag full! 

Watching the parade

After the parade we went to my moms and Marley hung out in the hot tub. 

 Watching fireworks. Ever since this night, Mason has been pointing up and saying "woah" 

Watching the neighbors fireworks once we got home

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!

Got to see the sunrise while on my way to Southern Indiana.

Quesadilla Casserole

I had this recipe on my menu plan for a while. I finally got around to making it the other night and I'm so glad I did. It was so good!  I bet it would taste even better with shredded chicken instead of ground beef.

1 lb ground beef

1/2 cup chopped onion

2 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp oregano

16 oz tomato sauce

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (8 3/4 oz) whole kernel corn, undrained

1 can (4 1/2 oz) green chilies, undrained

6 flour tortillas (8 inch size)

2 cups shredded Cheddar Cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown ground beef and onion. Drain. Add tomato sauce, beans, corn and green chilies. Mix well. Stir in all of the spices. Bring to a boil, reduce heat low and simmer 5 minutes.

Spread 1/2 cup of the beef mixture on bottom of 9X13 pan. Top with 3 of the tortillas, overlapping as needed.

Layer with 1/2 of the remaining beef mixture and 1/2 of the cheese. Repeat with remaining tortillas, beef and cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until heated through. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
