LOVED, LOVED, LOVED IT! I used pepper jack soup instead of cream of mushroom and added some chopped bell pepper, minced garlic, diced serrano peppers for heat and bacon. I also deciced to omit the tortillas. Some said I should have used flour tortillas. I think next time I'll do that! I'm from Ada...and this is for sure Oklahoma-esque! Thanks for such a wonderful comforting keeper!! I will make this again and again!!

Not a highly elegant meal but absolutely comforting. It is hard to serve but the taste is good. You end up with a creamy pile of beef, tortillas and cheese. It's quite rich and rather high in calories so it will be something we have to break up our usual routine.

I just love this recipe, must be an OK thing :) I do a slight variation though. I don't like red enchilada sauce so I substituted the Campbell's Ranchero Tomato. I also use their Pepper Jack soup and Creamy Chicken Verde in place of the cream of mushroom and chicken. It ads a little extra something too it! Always a crowd pleaser and easy too!
