Easy Cheesy Beef Enchiladas

Today is 11/11/11

The number 11 has been my favorite number for as long as I can remember.

So, today, I thought I would pair two of my favorites, my favorite number, 11,
and my favorite food, MEXICAN!

My son, Spencer, and I have this in common.  We could eat Mexican ALL the TIME!

This year for his birthday he requested my enchiladas.

They are super easy to make, and to be quite honest, I have never really followed a recipe?

So, this time, I wrote one as made them, so that I could share them with you!

paired with chips and guacamole, yum.

Easy Cheesy Beef and Cheese Enchiladas 

2 pounds ground beef

1 small onion, chopped

8 flour tortillas, burrito size

19 ounce can of Old El Paso Enchilada Sauce

2 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar Cheese

Brown ground beef with onion until done, drain off excess fat. Spread 2 T. of enchilada sauce down the center of a tortilla, spoon beef over the sauce. (evenly divide meat between 8 tortillas)

Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.

a good healthy pinch will do it!

 Roll, Repeat, lining them seam side down in a 9x13 prepared pan.  

(you will have to squoosh them in to get them all to fit)

hard to believe something so simple with turn into bubbly cheese goodness!

Top with remaining sauce and cheese. 

Bake at 350 degrees covered for 30 minutes.

(spray your foil with non-stick spray, or your cheese will end up on that, and not the enchiladas!)

Uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.

piping hot out of the oven!



This is an easy recipe that is quick to make and always tastes great!


After dinner we enjoyed "Spencer's Cake" -- a cookies and cream ice cream cake.
