Leftover Creation: Vegetarian Butterbean Ragout Tortilla Casserole Recipe

Day 118.



It's leftover day. Hooray! So, I've kinda been making leftovers all week. Hmm....what do I have left that's not already recycled? Butterbean Ragout! That stuff is almost so good I don't want to tinker with it; but alas, there is that possibility that it can be even better. So here we go.



Butterbean Ragout Tortilla Casserole

Ingredients

2 C Butterbean Ragout

1.5 C Mexican cheese, shredded

6 corn tortillas

1/2 C sliced green onions



Directions

Spray 8 x 8 or 9 x 6 baking dish with non-stick spray. Layer 2 corn tortillas on bottom. Top with 1/3 of ragout and 1/2 C of cheese. Repeat for 2 more layers. Add green onions to top. Bake at 400 for 30 minutes.



The Results

Mmm...this is so tasty! I debated about lasagna, but didn't think the Mexican flavors would go as deliciously with the noodles. I love this dish a lot. I'll make it again in the future. This ragout was a total "ooh, let's put this in" kind of create-a-recipe, so I'm super excited that the original and the leftover creation from it turned out so well.



Project Food Budget:

$8 on milk is all we spent this week. Wow! We were broke, again. Sigh. Babies are expensive I tell you.



Goal: $75/$300

Actual: $8/$246



Hooray! Under budget for April!
