A delicious and easy beef enchilada casserole perfect for dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs Lean Ground Beef
- 1/2 White Onion (finely diced)

- 8 oz Cheddar Cheese (shredded)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Brown the ground beef with the diced onion and taco seasoning in a large skillet over medium high heat until the beef is browned and the onions are soft (approximately 5-6 minutes).
- Pour approximately 1/3 of a cup of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9X13 pan.
- Layer the tortillas on top of the enchilada sauce. It’s ok to tear them in half so that they line the bottom of the pan.
- Top with approximately half of the beef mixture, approximately 3/4 cup of red enchilada sauce and 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese.
- Repeat these layers a 2nd time in the casserole pan.
- Top with more corn tortillas, the remaining enchilada sauce and the remaining shredded cheese.
- Cover the pan with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Uncover the pan and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.
- Let the casserole sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to sit.
- Top with the fresh cilantro. Then cut, serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For added flavor, you can include black olives or jalapeños.
- Make sure to let the casserole rest before serving for easier slicing.
