Beef Enchilada Casserole - all the taste of beef enchiladas without all the time and mess of rolling. Cheesy, hearty, comforting and such an easy dinner!
In a large skillet brown the ground beef and onions together until the beef is cooked and the onions are soft. Drain any of the grease away. Then add taco seasoning and any water called for and simmer until the liquid is absorbed
Spread about a 1/2 cup of sauce into the bottom of a 13x9 or 2 qt casserole dish. Then arrange about 4 tortillas along the bottom.
4 cups enchilada sauce, 16 corn tortillas
Spread 1/3 of the ground beef with 1/3 of the corn and/or beans and 1/4 of the cheese. Pour about 3/4 cup of enchilada sauce evenly over the casserole.
15 oz corn or black beans, 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Arrange 4 more tortillas and repeat with the rest of the ingredients. You want to end with a layer of tortillas on top that you pour over the remaining enchilada sauce and sprinkle with the rest of the cheese.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes covered, and then 15-20 minutes uncovered until it is hot and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before slicing to serve.
