Enchilada Casserole

lets.eat's Note:

Fantastic! This one does not contain any cream of ..soups or corn. Slices nicely. I doubled Enchilada Sauce by Kimke for the enchilada sauce

• Total Time: 50 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 35 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
• 1 cup onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 (10 ounce) cans enchilada sauce
• 1 (2 1/2 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
• 10 (6 inch) corn tortillas, divided and torn
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons chives, snipped

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375'. Grease a 11x7 baking pan place on a foil lined baking sheet and set aside.
2. In a skillet brown the ground beef, onion and garlic, drain the fat. Place back in the skillet and add the enchilada sauce and 1/4 cup of the black olives. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low stirring occasionally. Cook 5 minutes.
3. Layer 1/2 of the tortillas on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Cover with 1/2 of the meat mixture, sprinkle with 1 cup of the cheese. Repeat layers; cover with foil sprayed with no-stick spray.
4. Bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until bubbly. Sprinkle with remaining black olives and sprinkle with chives. Let set 10 minutes before slicing.

This was sooo good. I did change the recipe a little, but the only thing that needed changing was that next time I will add a litte sauce to the bottom of the pan before putting the bottom layer of tortillas down and I used more sauce than called for. I will definately make this again...

Almost like the enchilada's I make from a Mexican cookbook. Followed recipe exactly, will keep this one for sure.

This casserole gives lots of flavor for very little effort. That's a 10 star rating if it could be! I made one very small change; instead of tearing up the tortillas, I used a round casserole and slightyly overlapped them. Sooo Yummy!
