Best Lazy Girls Beef Enchilada Casserole Recipes

EASY BEEF ENCHILADA CASSEROLE - LAZY ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 1.5-quart round casserole dish with non-stick spray (or 8-inch square pan).
• Slice the corn tortillas into 3 strips each. TIP: stack the tortillas and use a pizza cutter to slice them. This step is why we may refer to this as lazy enchiladas if you don't have the time to stuff and roll each tortilla!
• In a large saute pan, cook and break up the ground beef until no longer pink. The texture should be finely ground (no big chunks of meat). Drain off the fat.
• Add the salsa, enchilada sauce, water, and all the spices and seasonings. Stir well. Simmer uncovered 5 minutes. Taste test and add more salt if desired.
• To the casserole dish, add half the sliced corn tortillas, half the meat sauce, then the cheese. Repeat layer of tortilla strips, meat sauce, and cheese.
• Bake uncovered for 15 minutes.
