Recipe for Enchilada Casserole

This is a recipe from my mom that she made me a long time ago. I asked her for the recipe and she sent me this:

l pound ground beef or turkey

1 small onion, chopped  –   fry together, then drain on paper towel

Mix 1 can cream of mushroom or chicken with l can water, 1 tsp to 1 tablespoon chili powder (depending on how hot you like it)

Add this to the drained meat.

Take 1 package of corn tortillas, about 6 inches size, 10 in pkg, I think, and break up, cut up in small pieces

1 8 oz pkg of shredded cheddar cheese according to your choice.

If you have a 1 1/2 to 2 qt casserole dish with lid or can use foil for lid, spray with Pam or whatever.  Place some spoonfuls of the meat/soup mixture in bottom, then sprinkle corn tortillas, then sprinkle some cheese, then repeat with meat, etc until all used up. Should make 3 layers if made in a casserole dish.  End with sprinkled cheese on top.  Bake covered about 40 min, and uncover for about 15 minutes.  Bake until golden brown and bubbly.  Also good with spoonful of sour cream on top.

Hope you try it sometime and like it.  It is easy and tastes good!  Love, Mom

Given that I have cooked it several times now, I was looking for a new way to cook it and serve it – so yesterday here is what I came up with that was darn good! [Read more...]
