Enchilada Casserole

RE: Enchilada Casserole Post by gertrude (8) | (02/14/2008) Profile | Contact I make what I call a Mexican Casserole that is similar to this but takes a little less time. I brown a pound of ground beef; when meat is almost totally cooked, I add a cut up large onion and saute until meat is completed done. I drain this and place 1/2 into a casserole. I then add a layer of corn chips or nacho chips (this is a way to use the stale ones up) and a layer of sharp cheddar that has been grated. I then layer the remaining beef, chips, and cheese. I mix one can of mild enchilada sauce with one can of water, stir together and pour over casserole. I bake at 350 for about one hour (covered with foil). I remove foil, sprinkle another layer of cheddar on top, and bake until cheese is melted and a little browned. Serve with a salad - makes a good meal!

I take a can of refried beans and smear a thin layer of beans on the enchiladas before adding the ground beef(I also add some salsa to the hamburger while cooking), I've found they stay together better this way. After adding the hamburger mixture, I roll them up (like burritos) and pour a can of Enchilada sauce over them,then sprinkle with some Cheddar cheese. I've also made these with some leftover diced chicken pieces....they were a major hit also. I made them last weekend and the family said this recipe was a "keeper". I bake them at 350 til the cheese melts(if the meat mixture is hot, longer if I've made the meat mixture earlier). I put a dollop of sour cream on them when I serve them. VERY EASY, but looks like you've worked all day :) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Enchilada Casserole Post by meoowmom (1275) | (04/13/2006) Profile | Contact Robin, this sounds good and easy. I make traditional ones with homemade enchilada sauce but I noticed my husband does not care for them, everyone else does. Thanks and I will try this for next dinner.

Editor's Note: I wrote to Robin asking her about it. I'll put it in as soon as I get her answer. Thanks to all of you who caught this.
