Directions: |
Directions:In a large dutch oven, saute chopped onions and peppers in small amount of oil, add minced garlic and ground meat, breaking meat into large crumbles. When meat is browned, add chili powder, seasoned salt, black pepper, and red pepper. Cook for a few more minutes. Pour both cans of tomatoes, beef broth, and macaroni into to mixture. Mixture will appear "soupy" .(Macaroni will absorb most of liquid while baking). Stir in tamales and olives.
Spray 2 large Pyrex baking dishes with cooking spray. Pour a layer of meat/macaroni sauce, top with a thin layer of Tostitos Queso dip, sprinkle thin layer of shredded cheese. Pour second layer of meat/macaroni sauce, top with thin layer of Queso, and add final layer of shredded cheese. Repeat with second baking dish.
Bake at 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly in center. |
