Layered Mexican Casserole - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 oz. ground beef
12 oz. can whole kernel corn, drained
12 oz. jar chunky salsa
2 1/4 oz. can olives, drained, sliced, pitted
1 cup cottage cheese
8 oz. sour cream
5 cups tortilla chips
8 oz. shredded cheese
1/2 cup chopped tomato

Preparation

Brown ground beef, drain. Add corn and salsa, cook on med til heated through. Stir in all but 2 T. olives.
In separate bowl, mix cottage cheese and sour cream. In a 2 qt. casserole, layer 2 cups chips, 1/2 of meat mixture,
3/4 cup shredded cheese, and 1/2 of sour cream mixture. Repeat. Cover. Bake at 350* for 35 minutes.
Place more tortilla chips around the edges (going 1/2 way down between casserole and food).Top with remaining cheese, olives and the tomatoes.
Keep uncovered and bake for about 10 min. more or til cheese melts.
( I usually add chopped onion to the ground beef and don't always add olives or fresh tomatoes, esp when they aren't in season.)
