I used the "homemade" sauce that they recommend-there is a link on this recipe.

Quesadilla Casserole

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (14 1/2 oz) whole kernel corn, undrained
1 can (4 oz) chopped green chilies, undrained
6-8 flour tortillas (8 inch)
1 1/2-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (I use mild)
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp oregano leaves
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper

1. Brown beef and onion in large skillet on medium-high heat; drain. Add tomato sauce, beans, corn, and green chilies; mix well. Stir in all of the spices except red pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer 5 minutes. Add red pepper to taste, if desired.
2. Spread 1/2 cup of the beef mixture on bottom of 13X9 pan (or 1/4 cup if splitting into 2 8X8's) sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Top with 3 of the tortillas (or 2 if doing 8X8 pan) overlapping or stacking as needed. Layer with 1/2 of remaining beef mixture, and 1/2 of the cheese. Repeat with remaining tortillas, beef mixture and cheese.
3. Bake in preheated 350 oven 15-20 min (if frozen and thawed 20-30 min) or until heated through. Let stand 5 min before serving.

Spinach Artichoke Tortellini

1 pkg tortellini noodles (I used cheese filled. Can be frozen or refridgerated)
2 jars (6.5 oz each) artichoke hearts
1 pkg frozen spinach-thawed and drained
1/2 cup sour cream (I use light)
1/2 cup mayo (I use light)
1 clove garlic; pressed
3/4 cup parmesan cheese

Cook tortellini noodles (boil about 9 minutes from frozen-follow directions on package) Chop artichoke hearts (I use pampered chef food chopper; faster than a knife). Mix with spinach, sour cream, mayo, garlic, and cheese. When well mixed, carefully add cooked noodles and put in casserole dish. Can be split between 2 8x8's and frozen. To bake, thaw and bake at 375 for about 25-30 minutes, uncovering for the last 5 minutes or so.
