Easy Mexican Casserole

Before I got married, I rented a house with these two lovely ladies.  (We have GOT to get a new photo ladies!)

We were a little family and cooked dinner for each other most nights. Amy (left) always made this REALLY great Mexican casserole that I LOVED. I brought it back this week and made it for Hubby and it was so good, I decided to share

This is a great casserole for weeknights because it is super simple to put together, it yields several servings, and it is great reheated (this is my second day to bring it for lunch :) )
