Beef Enchiladas

This week it has gotten a little bit chilly! So to warm us up I made these EASY enchiladas!  These have always been a favorite of my friends and family!  Its a simple and cheap recipe that is great to save a re-heat the next day!! I also like this recipe because I can sneak in the peas :)

 

Easy Beef Enchiladas


Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 yellow onion (diced)
1 can green and red enchilada sauce
7 cups frozen shredded hash browns
3 Tablespoons butter
1 can peas
1pkg. taco seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
1 small bag quesadilla shredded cheese
1 small bag Colby jack shredded cheese
1 pkg (8) flour burrito tortilla shells

Directions:
1. In a large pot brown ground beef and onions.  When it is browned add peas, taco seasoning, butter and hash browns.  Stir together and let cook until hash browns are soft and peas are cooked.  Set aside and let cool.

2. In a pie pan add both red and green enchilada sauces. Stir together.

3.  Set up an assembly line to make this go smooth.
Start: Place tortilla shells on a paper towel, the pie dish with enchilada sauce, Place the tortilla shell pkg. on the counter (this will be used to lay the tortilla shell on), Combine both bags of cheese into a bowl and place close, then place the pot with the meat and hash brown filling by the cheese.  Take a pan 13x9 glass pan and spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.  keep this close to make transfer easy.

4.  Now begin the process: Dip flour shell into sauce covering both sides, place onto the tortilla shell pkg. Add about 1/4 cup in the middle and make it look like a log so it looks it almost touches the ends.  Add a handful of cheese ( make sure you leave enough cheese to top at the end.  Roll up the enchilada and place into the dish.  Repeat with the rest of the tortilla shells.  When finished take any extra filling and enchilada sauce and place it on top of the enchiladas.  Add another handful of cheese to the top.  Place in the oven at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until cheese and sauce in bubbly.  You can also place these in the refrigerator and heat them at another time!!

Have a Blessed day and ENJOY!
