AUTHENTIC GROUND BEEF ENCHILADA PIE

Authentic Ground Beef Enchilada Pie image

I have made this for many years and still enjoy it! It's from an old Mexican cookbook that I've had for so long, the pages are all yellowed and about worn out. If you will measure all of your ingredients and get everything ready, this can be made in 30 minutes.I usually double this and it comes out fine.
