Manwich Style Enchilada Casserole

Submitted by True Texas

"Old PTA organization cookbook from my hometown, early '80's. I love Mexican casseroles, this one sounds different. This is one of those dishes that you can make changes, I will probably add some cumin and maybe a little hot pepper sauce next time."

Tasty, and easy. I thought it might taste like sloppy joes but it doesn't. It's a good Mexican casserole!

OK... I am a Manwich freak - lived on it it college lol. I loved this! I made it like a lasagna. Used Lasagna noodles and layered as stated. I also added more onion and about half of a green pepper. Thanks for a new idea on an old favorite!

Delicious! I made this for dinner for my gramma and myself and we both loved it! Instead of using tortillas I used lasagna noodles and I added 1 small chopped onion and 1/2 a chopped green pepper to the mix to get more veggies into it. Because of the noodles I cooked it at 375 for 40 minutes. THANKS SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!!
