Tamale Pie (Casserole)

1 lb hamburger
1 med. onion, chopped
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic salt or fresh garlic and salt
1 tsp chili powder
1 cup picante salsa
1 can tomato sauce
1 can diced tomatoes (I like the ones with jalapenos or green chilis)
1 can whole kernel corn
1 can olives, sliced
corn tortillas
grated cheese

Brown hamburger in skillet. When almost done add onion and spices and saute together. Add the rest of the ingredients except tortillas and cheese, although if you like a lot of cheese you can put some in this mix as well. Mix and heat slightly. Layer corn tortillas and hamburger mixture in a casserole dish, starting with a layer of tortillas, then layer of mix, tortillas, mix, tortillas and then top with cheese, covering the tortillas completely so they don't dry out.

Cover with tin foil and bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes. Uncover, and let bake another 5 minutes. Serve with sour cream.

*We like a lot of tortilla in ours, so I like to do a double thick layer of tortillas in the middle, and sometimes on the bottom as well.

Yummy Pork Chops

3-4 Pork Chops
1 Onion sliced into rings
3 Apples (whatever variety you like) sliced
Apple Juice (probably about a 1-2 cups-enough to cover bottom of crock pot an inch or so, but not completely cover pork chops)
1 TBS Mustard (or can use 1 tsp mustard powder)

Put pork, onions, apples and mustard into crock pot. Pour apple juice over the top. Cook on high 3-4 hours, low 6-8 hours or until pork is tender and falls apart easily.

This is a yummy way to make pork chops and you can just eat them as is with side dishes, or you can shred it and eat over rice, or make sandwiches. Enjoy!
