In the meantime, this recipe was sent to me by Donna, and, trust me, it's a good one!

Jean’s Mexican Hot Dish
9x13 pan – 350 degree oven – 45 minutes bake time
2 lbs. ground beef
½ cup chopped onions
2 cloves minced garlic
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
1 28 oz. can diced tomatoes
1 2 ½ oz jar chopped black olives
1 pack taco seasoning
1 15 oz. pkg. cheese taco chips (I used Nacho Cheese Doritos)
1 12 oz. pkg. shredded cheddar cheese
1 8 oz. pkg. shredded mozzarella cheese
½ pint sour cream
Brown meat with onions and garlic.
Add sauce, tomatoes, olives, and taco seasoning.
Crush ½ pkg. of taco chips into bottom of 9x13 pan.
Layer on 4 oz. cheddar cheese, meat mixture, then mozzarella cheese.
Spread sour cream across top.
Top this with remaining taco chips (optional: do not add remaining chips until about 30 minutes into baking time – then the chips will not be quite as crunchy).
Bake for 45 minutes.
Remove from oven and sprinkle on remaining cheddar cheese.
Serve to your friends & family.
*Optional: Sprinkle chopped green onions across top.
Also, this dish is relatively mild. If you want a little more heat, add cayenne or hot sauce to taste.
