(Courtesy of Mr Food)

Ingredients:

1 lb. lean ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 (1.25 oz.) envelope taco seasoning mix
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 c. sour cream
1 c. cottage cheese
2 c. crushed tortilla chips
2 c. (8 oz.) grated Monterey Jack cheese

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.


In a skillet, brown the beef, then drain off the excess fat; remove from the heat.  Add onion, garlic powder, taco seasoning mix and tomato sauce to the beef; mix and set aside.


In a medium-sized bowl, combine sour cream and cottage cheese; set aside.


Place half of the crushed chips in the bottom of a 2 1/2 qt. casserole dish that has been coated with nonstick cooking spray.  Add enough meat mixture to cover the chips, then cover the meat with half of the sour cream mixture.  Sprinkle with half the grated cheese.  Repeat layers.  Bake, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes, until the cheese melts and casserole is heated through.
