Notes: This is a Metsker family favorite, one that Grandma Susan makes for her grandkids today. My mom Susan taught me this recipe when I in grade school. I remember her showing me how to hold a knife and slice olives.
This meal can easily be doubled using a 9x13 casserole dish or adapted to fit dietary needs. For example, use Gluten Free chips & seasoning, omit or swap out ingredients (fat free plain greek yogurt instead of sour cream, or use ground turkey or chicken), etc.
Time Saving Tips
- Brown meat, add beans and taco seasoning and store in fridge or freezer until you're ready to assemble dish.
- Buy chopped romaine, shredded cheese and already sliced olives
