BFY Tex Mex Casserole

Shaking up Taco Tuesday and doing a Tex Mex Casserole.  It is a cold and rainy day here in Nebraska so making something warm and comforting was just the ticket.

Enjoy!

Devour.  Seriously, had two bowls.  And I am OK with that.

 

My husband also had two bowls.  No shame, my friends… no shame.
