Pedro's Special

Friday night dinners are just meant to be

 casual and more fun.

  Pizza and tacos come to mind. This recipe is very 

easy for a Friday Fun Food night. It's another 

Peg Bracken  recipe from her popular and 

funny 1960 The I Hate To Cook book

Imagine a recipe that's 55 years old!

 Gather all ingredients

 Brown the beef with the onion and garlic.

 Add the tomato sauce. Rinse out Fill the can 

with about 1/3 of water and rinse out to add.

 Add chili powder, oregano and beans including 

the liquid in the can.

 Add half the beef mixture to the bottom of

 a sprayed casserole.

 Top with half the corn chips.

 Top with remaining beef mixture.

 Top with remaining corn chips. Cover with foil.

Bake @350º for 35 minutes. Remove foil and

bake another 10 minutes.

Strew the shredded lettuce and chopped

 onion on top, for that Olde-Tyme Mexicali look. 
Pass additional toppings.

Very good with my Redneck (Beer) Margaritas.
