How to Make Black Eyes Of Texas Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can black-eyed peas (drained and rinsed), 1 (10.75-ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup milk, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Spread one-third of the meat mixture in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. Layer 6-8 corn tortillas over the meat mixture.
  7. Repeat layers with remaining meat mixture and tortillas, ending with meat mixture on top.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the casserole.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
