Baked Beef Enchiladas Recipe
Make sure to REPIN this recipe
I have been in enchilada mood lately – I think because you can really be creative with the filling AND it has tons of cheese on it
I decided to make Baked Beef Enchiladas — I really tried to make a filling that was bursting with flavor and low on heat
I also love the fact that these Baked Beef Enchiladas make AMAZING leftovers – This was dinner and lunch ( 2 meals for under $10 — is PRETTY great to me) – my dad, mom, and Eric were eating them 🙂
I found a great frugal way to add flavor but not heat to a dish – I use these green chili from a can ( I get the mild) – it is fire roasted chili
The can is the Winco store brand and cost about $.78 ( if I can remember correctly) – seriously improves this dish by a ton
Not in the picture is cumin ( that was a last add in by me) – also the green and red peppers are covering the ground beef
You can use green enchilada sauce – I tend to use red BUT use whatever floats your boat
My dad is a master enchiladas maker – here he is – filling first then a little cheese on top – you can NEVER go wrong with cheese
Of course more cheese goes on top — because cheese is the best thing in the world — I might have a slight obsession with cheese
I think it pairs well with my new linen 🙂
