"Fabulous White Trash Recipe"

My sister in law, Jen, sent me this recipe, and this is my first time making it. It didn't have a title, other than what's above. I guess from looking at the recipe, I'd call it taco lasagna or taco casserole. Today is a "gym day" for me (I go to a class at 445, and my hubby gets dinner ready), so he'll get to pop this in the oven, and we'll have it with salad.

Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 can (10 3/4 oz) Campbell's Condensed Tomato Soup
1 cup Pace thick & chunky salsa
1/2 cup milk
6 flour tortillas or 8 corn tortillas (6-8 inch) cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:
In skillet over medium-high heat, cook beef until browned, stirring to
separate meat. Pour off fat

Add soup, salsa, milk, tortillas and HALF the cheese. Spoon into 2 quart
shallow baking dish. COVER.
Bake at 400 for 30 min or until hot. Sprinkle w/ remaining cheese.

The result: I forgot to take a picture, but as my hubby said, "it wasn't pretty". But that says nothing for how it tasted. It was really good! It was kind of a disassembled burrito or enchilada. I wondered if the tomato soup would make it too sweet, but it didn't. I did use colby/jack cheese instead of cheddar b/c it was what I had in the fridge. I know I said earlier that I'd call it "taco" something, but having tasted it, I wouldn't. It didn't have any taco seasonings in it. This is a good one for kids b/c the flavors were pretty mild. My son kept saying the tortilla pieces were chicken, and although it took some encouragement, he ate quite a bit of it.
