Welcome

Welcome to Kay's Village Recipes! Some believe the heart of the home is in the kitchen, I believe the kitchen is the heart of the village. It takes a “village” to live life to its fullest and it has nothing to do with geography or how large or small a town you live in. My “village” is inhabited by family members, dear friends, co-workers, and the occasional visitor who is in my life for a short period of time. Each one of these people has a profound impact on my emotional wellbeing as well as the quality of my life, and all have one thing in common…they all love to eat, and I love to cook for them.
On this blog you will find free, family recipes for: homemade soups, breads, apple pie, cakes, candies, snacks, casseroles, main courses, side dishes, appetizers, breakfast, home-style cooking, and so much more.

Mexican Lasagna

Original Recipe from:  Kay Johnson-Tomblin

Years ago one of my coworkers brought in a Mexican Lasagna for an employee potluck event.  It was the tastiest dish there that day.  From that first bite I decided to figure out how she made it and try it out with my family.  At first they laughed…Mexican Lasagna…really Mom!  Then they tasted it.  Their laughter turned into complements.  It became a most requested dish by my kids after that first taste.  Try this dish for your family or your next potluck event.  It is very easy to make.  Enjoy!

Ingredients

1)  1 can Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies
2)  2 cans 14.5 ounce Refried Beans
3)  1/2 Jar of Salsa (mild, medium or hot)
4)  4 ounces Taco Sauce
5)  1 1/2 pounds Ground Beef (cooked and drained)
6)  2-3 bags of shredded Cheese (Colby/Mexican blend)
7)   1 bag of Tortilla Shells (soft)

Directions

Use a 9x13x2 casserole or baking dish

1)  Mix items 1-5 together
2)  Start by putting a layer of the Mix on the bottom of your baking dish.
3)  Add a layer of Cheese
4)  Put 2 Tortilla shells on top of the Cheese
5)  Repeat Steps 1-4
6)  When you get to the top of the dish, make sure you have the Mixture on top and smother with Cheese.
