This is a very easy recipe I cut out of a magazine. I made it tonight, and we really liked it. It certainly isn’t gourmet food, but it is a good-tasting easy meal!
1 pound ground beef
1 can tomato soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 cup water
6 medium tortillas (6″), cut into 1 inch pieces
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Cook beef until well browned, stirring to break up meat.
Stir in soup, sour cream, salsa, water, and tortillas.
Heat to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes.
Stir.
Top with cheese.
Makes 4 servings or 2 if you are hungry…

This recipe is from my friend Midge who is a wonderful cook! Enjoy!!
2 cups granulated sugar
1 8-ounce package cream cheese
2 cans sweetened condensed milk
2 cans whole milk (pour milk into condensed milk cans)
8 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla (or orange) extract
Grand Marnier, spooned on top
Place sugar in skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until sugar begins to melt. Stir constantly until sugar is melted.
Pour in bottom of a 9 inch x 13 inch Pyrex dish. To be on the safe side, make sure the dish is not cold.
Place cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. Cream until smooth.
Gradually add condensed milk until mixture is smooth. Then, gradually add milk. Add the beaten eggs and vanilla.
Pour in Pyrex dish over the melted sugar, which will be hard in the bottom of the dish.
Place either in a jellyroll pan or a larger pan with water in the bottom.
Bake at 350 degrees until golden on top and set. If mixture starts to brown too soon, cover the dish with foil. Cooking time is approximately 1 hour.
Remove from oven. Spoon Grand Marnier over the top. Cool.
It can be inverted on a large platter or served from the dish.
You can find a wide variety of jelly roll pans at Amazon.com. Here are just two of the possibilities:
