Dinner

Dinner is such a struggle sometimes isn't it.  Today and actually this week has been one of those on the go don't really have a chance to think about dinner until dinnertime kind of weeks.  Add on top of that, the kids have such a limited amount of things they like to eat that it makes it hard to cook one meal because I get sick of the things they want.  So for this season, I sort of am  short order cook.  There are days where I make them try something new and if they don't like it, they can have something else, but then there are days where I just stick with the old standby's (macncheese, chicken nuggets) b/c I just don't have the energy to try.
Today, they got mac n cheese.  But for hubby and I, fortunately, had some frozen parts to a meal and am now cooking a nice taco casserole.  I am so grateful to remember freezing extra things for nights like this, I wish I did it more.  In one freezer I had beans and tomato sauce and in another some already cooked hamburger.  Add some seasonings, sour cream and cheese and we are good to go. 
Here is the recipe that has been given to me and I love:

Taco Casserole:

1 pound ground beef

1/2 can (15 oz) kidney beans, 1/2 can (15 oz) black beans - rinsed (you can use more or less depending on what you like)

1 8 oz can tomato sauce

taco seasoning

1 t garlic powder

2-4 T chili powder

1 C sour cream

1/2 C green onions and tops chopped

1 C cheese

tomatoes

Cook ground beef and taco seasoning

Stir in beans, tom. sauce, chili powder, and garlic powder

heat until it boils - can add some water

Put mixture in  11x7 pan, spread with sour cream

sprinkle with onions, tomatoes, and cheese

Cook uncovered 20-30 minutes in 350 degrees oven

Eat with tortilla chips, salsa and guacamole.

On a side note, I often use more sour cream and cheese but that is because I can't get enough of htem.  It is super easy to make extra and freeze it.
