This Mexican food is my comfort food!
This is my favorite casserole. Ever! Hands down! I love it. I make it more than any other casserole, and it never disappoints. The great thing about this casserole is that it gets better the next day, and it freezes and reheats well. It is so easy and so tasty, it is sure to be a hit with your family. I have even served this at a New Year's Party, and my guests loved it.
