Based on Leafhoppers comment I made some changes to this recipe. For starters I used half 80/20 hamburger and half ground chorizo. I combined the two meats together prior to cooking. In addition to the chili powder and cumin called for in the recipe I used about 3 tblsp of no salt homemade taco seasoning. I used fire roasted corn and threw in some olives because I had an open container. For the cheese I used Monterey with Hatch Chiles in it. Thank you Fresh Basket. I also used Rotel canned tomatoes. For the topping I used an equal amount of lard instead of butter, added roughly 1 tsp of Ancho Chile powder and 1 tsp of Cumin. I also threw in some chopped green Chiles. I also cooked half the time with casserole cover. Next time I'll cover the whole cooking time. Overall pretty tasty. I'll probably make this again but spice it up a bit more, needs just a touch of heat. Maybe some chipotles.
