OK, did this one this week.

I bought one of those Old El Paso soft taco bake kits. They were on sale for $1.99. You are supposed to use 1 pound of ground beef, mix it with water and the sauce and then alternate the beef/taco/beef/taco etc. So instead, I browned 1/2 pound ground beef, drained it and mixed in a can of drained and rinsed pinto beans. I added about 1/2 cup frozen corn and the water and sauce. Heated it for a minute or two. Then I layered one soft taco, meat mixture and shredded cheddar, repeating until I had three layers. The top layer was the last soft taco, and I spread the cheese sauce that comes with the kit on top of that. Let me tell you, it was sooooooo good. DH doesn't eat anything Mexican or with beans, so I got dinner and 2 lunches out of it!
