Meal Plan Monday

This will be my last MPM post for a bit. A woman from school has generously organized families to bring meals for us for the most of the nights of the following 2 weeks as we prepare for and celebrate baby's arrival!

Sunday: Burrito Pie, fruit salad
BURRITO PIE aka Mexican lasagna 1 1/2 pounds ground beef 1 onion, chopped 2 teaspoons minced garlic 6-7 (6 inch) flour tortillas 1 (16 ounce) jar taco sauce 1 (16 ounce) can black beans 2 cups shredded Colby cheese 1 (10 ounce) can diced tom. w/ green chiles 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 2. In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the ground beef for 5 minutes. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 5 more minutes. Drain any excess fat. Mix in the tomatoes with green chile peppers, taco sauce and beans. Stir mixture thoroughly, reduce heat to low, and let simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. 3. Spread a thin layer of the meat mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish. Cover with a layer of tortillas followed by more meat mixture, then a layer (2 cups) of cheese.

I had no recipe in mind when I posted this meal originaly. I am updating to add the recipe because I found a super easy one (10 min. before I put it in the oven) and my family loved it.
2 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs (I only had 1 cup so I added 1 cup of crushed seasoned croutons) and 1/2 cup olive oil. Spray cooking pan. Place tenderloins in pan. Coat with bread crumb and oil mixture about 1/4 inch thick. Bake at 425 for 35 min or until meat thermometer registers 160 degrees. Let pork rest for 10 min then cut into 1/2 inch slices.l Yummy! And, I have one whole tenderloin left - I was missing 2 eaters from the table that night .
