This dinner idea is a simple one- rather than rolling the ingredients up into a corn tortilla, the ingredients are layered into the casserole dish instead.
How to make Beef and Bean Enchilada Casserole:
Layer corn tortillas, beef/bean/chiles/spices, garlic sour cream, and enchilada sauce. Then those layers are repeated one more time. In the recipe below, I’ve listed some options for other layers to include, as well as some change-it-up ideas.
Additional layers and change-it-up options:
If you want to add some more layers… try adding corn, olives or feta cheese! Try substituting a can of chili beans for refried beans.
A good couple of handfuls of cheese are added to the top at the very end of baking.
And that cheese gets all nice and melted and bubbly.
And then it’s ready for dishing out. My guys enjoyed this served on a bed of shredded iceberg lettuce and then topped with sour cream, guacamole and chopped tomatoes. It’s good stuff. Enjoy!
About Enchilada sauce:
You can certainly use your favorite brand of canned enchilada sauce for this recipe. Or you can make your own. I have a great recipe for Enchilada Sauce, and it’s a very popular recipe with my RecipeGirl readers too!
