Category: Casseroles and Skillets

Serves 6-8

1 lb ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
8 oz tomato sauce
1 1/4 oz pkg taco seasoning mix
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried oregano
2 (25 oz) can sliced ripe olives, divided
1 cup sour cream
8 oz can crescent roll dough
2 cups coarsely crushed Fritos corn chips, divided
4 oz can chopped green chilies
1 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
OPTIONAL: salsa, sour cream, avocado slices and cilantro

Heat oven to 375 F. In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is browned; pour off any accumulated drippings. Stir in tomato sauce, seasoning mix, cumin, oregano and olives. Unroll crescent roll dough to cover bottom of ungreased 9x13" pan, gently patting the perforated seams of dough together.
Sprinkle 1 cup of crushed fritos on top of dough. Spoon on mixture. Stir together sour cream and green chilies; spread over meat mix. Sprinkle 1 cup remaining fritos over sour cream; top evenly with cheddar cheese.
Bake 25-30 minutes or until crust is cooked. Serve with optional ingredients, if desired.
