Amazing mexican casserole image

this is a crowd pleaser that is easy to make a lot or a little. It is like a Mexican lasagna and is fast, easy and kid approved! Kids also love to help assemble the casserole! Don't be afraid to make it your own by using ground chicken or ground turkey, it still will be super good, Also I never add salt to a recipe with shredded...
