 Easy Enchilada Casserole | Status Approved | | Name |  Easy Enchilada Casserole | | Category | American, Casseroles & Entrees, Quick meals, Vegetarian & Special Diets | | Serves/Yields | 4 to 6 servings | | Source | Kate's Own | | Difficulty | Easy | | Prep. Time | 15 minutes | | Cook Time | 25 minutes total | | Introduction | | This is an easy casserole that my daughter loves. I sometimes add diced green chiles to the layers for a kick. Shredded cooked chicken can also be used instead of ground meat.
This casserole is filling and a great way to feed hungry kids and not break the budget.
To make this casserole vegetarian , replace the meat with refried beans. | | Ingredients | |
1 pound ground beef or turkey
2 1/2 cups shredded cheese, a combination of monterey jack and cheddar are best
Salt and black pepper
1 tsp onion_powder
1/2 tsp garlic_powder
4-6 flour or corn tortillas (I like flour the best)
Pan spray
1 1/2 cups easy enchilada sauce, or your favorite canned sauce
3/4 cup sliced olives
1 medium tomato , diced
Sour_cream / guacamole for serving | | Directions | | Step: 1 |  Spray a round , deep casserole (about 1 quart) that the tortillas will fit flat in.Cook the ground beef and season with salt, pepper and onion and garlic powder. | | Step: 2 |  Lay a tortilla in the bottom of the casserole. Top with some of the ground beef, a couple of spoonfulls of enchilada sauce, some of the cheese micture and some olive slices. | | Step: 3 |  Top with another tortilla and press down slightly. Repeat this step until the casserole is full. Top with a tortilla and cover with the remaining enchilada sauce. | | Step: 4 |  Place the casserole in the microwave and cook for 10 minutes at 100% power (based on a 750 watt oven) Top with some of the shredded cheese and cook about 3 more minutes or until cheese is melted.
Top the casserole with some sour cream, the diced tomato and sliced olives. Cut into wedges to serve. Pass extra sour cream and guacamole.
This casserole can also be baked in the oven at 350 for 30 minutes. If the casserole has been in the refrigerator prior to cooking, microwave for 25 to 30 minutes or bake for 1 hour in the oven. |
