Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F.
Saute
the ground beef for 5 minutes in a large skillet.
Add the onion and
saute
for 5 more minutes.
Drain any excess fat.
Sprinkle with taco seasoning and add ½ cup water.
Mix in the olives, green chile peppers, cumin, Rotel, taco sauce (except the reserved (½ cup),refried beans and 1 cup of the cheese .
Stir mixture thoroughly, reduce heat to low, and let
simmer
for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Spread a thin layer of the meat mixture in the bottom of an oiled 13x9 inch dish.
Cover with a layer of tortillas (it took 4 whole and 2 halves to cover the bottom of my pan.)
Repeat the layers ending with tortillas.
Cover the tortillas on the top with reserved taco sauce and remaining cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and casserole is heated throughout.
Let set for 5 minutes or so before serving.
