Beef Enchilada Casserole


I love to find meals that are so yummy, I don't have to think about being gluten-free. This is one of the best and it's been husband and kid approved!

Beef Enchilada Casserole

2 lbs ground beef
1 can green chiles (small one)
2 cans (10 oz) red enchilada sauce (I used mild but I'm wimpy)
12 corn tortillas, cut in halves
5 cups sharp cheddar or mexican mix cheese

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Brown hamburger (I threw some onion in too) and when it's done add green chiles and one can of enchilada sauce to it.
  • Spray 9x13 in pan with Pam and pour other 1/2 can enchilada sauce on the bottom of the pan and spread it out to cover.
  • Place 8 halves of corn tortilla to cover the bottom of the pan.
  • Layer 1/2 of hamburger mixture on top of the corn torillas.
  • Put 2 1/2 cups of the cheese on top of that.
  • Layer 8 corn tortilla halves again, and repeat with the rest of the hamburger and cheese.
  • Layer with the last 8 corn tortilla halves and pour other 1/2 can of enchilada sauce over the top.
  • Cover with tin foil.
  • Bake 25 minutes.
  • Uncover and bake 5 more minutes.
  • Finish by broiling it for 2 minutes.
  • Let sit a few minutes before cutting.
  • Cut it down the middle lengthwise and then in 5s across to give 10 pieces that are enchilada shaped.
