I did not have a round casserole dish and my tortillas were too wide for a 9x13 dish or pie pan, so I made this in my springform pan and the presentation was great! When you remove the outer part of the pan you can see all the layers of the pie. Half of this recipe was about the size of a cheesecake, it was big! My husband said, "That thing is HUGE!" I doubled the cheese, used 2 tortillas per layer(6 total), and did everything else as written. For the tomatoes with chilis I used Original Rotel, next time I think I'll eliminate the 1/2 can of chilis and save myself $1.29 and just buy HOT Rotel instead. We'll keep the 1 ounce of olives since we will eat the leftover olives, I just buy a big can. I chopped the olives small and luckily my husband didn't even notice them, 1 ounce wasn't very much. The meat mixture was so good, almost like chili. I also took someone's advice and let it sit about 10-15 minutes to settle before removing the outer part of the pan and slicing. Thanks for the 5 star reipe!
