Beef Enchilada Casserole
Here in Texas, we love some enchiladas! I mean we just love Mexican food in general. If you know anything about Texas, our Mexican food is mostly Tex-Mex.
Tex-Mex is a blend of Texas and Mexican cuisine. This Beef Enchilada casserole will not disappoint.
You can easily make your own enchiladas at home.
To make the filling, brown your beef in a pan with a few seasonings and diced onions.
While your meat is cooking, prepare your homemade sauce with tomato sauce, ketchup, sugar, cheddar cheese soup and chili.
Once your meat has finished browning, drain the excess oil and reserve it. Add the taco seasoning according to the package instructions and allow to simmer with the beef for a few minutes.
Once the meat is prepped, it’s time to build your enchiladas.
Make sure to add enough sauce to coat the bottom of the pan before adding the enchiladas. You want to make sure that they enchiladas remain moist throughout.
Moisten each enchilada with the reserved oil and add a few tablespoons of the beef mixture. Once they are rolled, they should look like the enchiladas pictured above.
Top your enchiladas with sauce and shredded cheese and place them in the oven. you can also add fresh diced onion and jalapenos for extra flavor, but that is optional.
I ended up making 15 enchiladas, but you may end up having more or less depending on how much you fill each enchilada.
Enjoy!
