30-Minute Tex Mex Casserole

July 14, 2022 by predominantlypaleo Leave a Comment

 

I know I’m exhausted too – that’s why I made US this 30-Minute Tex Mex Casserole!

30-Minute Tex Mex Casserole


I uploaded this dang reel THREE TIMES to Instagram this week to try to get y’all some fresh eats. And it showed it to NOBODY. I made this so stinkin’ long ago the leftovers have all now been eaten. Gah. So let’s try this again. Hi, I made you a delicious 30 minute casserole and it’s worth seeing!!!

I’m still trying to find my groove cooking in the kitchen of our new house. As much as I love it, I don’t entirely feel settled yet so I’m leaning on almost-ready-to-eat meals often. That doesn’t mean “unhealthy” but they are definitely not homemade either. My goal is to get my kids more familiar with -independent cooking- so that during the school year they can alternate making meals for the fam.

We tried it last year but to be honest, without me enforcing it, it just sort of fell by the wayside. So here we are again, LET’S DO THIS!

30-Minute Tex Mex Casserole 

Inevitably every time I make a casserole someone gives me a hard time about cheese or ugliness or some other boredom-derived criticism. So here it all is out in the open:

  1. This has cheese. Sub it, trash it, don’t make it, breathe deep.
  2. This is not militant paleo – there are still a few bloggers around who tell you only meat is allowed if you raised it from birth so maybe they are a better fit for you
  3. It’s ugly. It’s a flippin’ casserole y’all. The whole point of a casserole is to feed people, not garnish a plate with edible flowers. Go to a Michelin restaurant if you need pretty

If you aren’t worried about the aforementioned, let’s dig in. This sh*t’s the best, I promise.

About

Jennifer is a wife and mother of 3 in pursuit of better health for her family.
After being gluten free for 4 years, and having a multitude of chronic health issues, she realized there was still too much processed “food” in her pantry and change was needed. Jennifer began feeding her family more meals from WHOLE foods and less from boxes. Her recipes are predominantly paleo, meaning they are free of grain, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar, but make allowances for a few treats and sweets. She believes food can be medicine when used appropriately and that a few changes now can equate to huge benefits later. Healthy food does not need to be flavorless and void of personality, which she aims to accomplish through her many recipes.
