Beefy Enchilada Casserole

beef

tsp salt

tsp pepper

tomatoes

tbsp taco seasoning

cayenne

KBosh pizza crusts

dheddar cheese

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until very little pink remains, breaking up any clumps with the back of a fork, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Drain off the fat, if desired.

Stir in the pureed tomatoes, taco seasoning, and cayenne (if your taco seasoning is salt-free, you will want to add more salt). Cook until heated through and the beef is fully cooked, another 3 to 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.

Preheat the oven to 350F and spray a 9x13 casserole dish with coconut or avocado oil spray.

Place one and a half pizza crusts on the bottom of the pan, cutting to fit. Use the cut bits to fill in any gaps. It does not need to be perfect.

Top with 1/3 of the beef/tomato mixture and sprinkle with 1/4 of the cheese. Repeat this layering 2 more times, but use all of the remaining cheese for the top layer.

Bake 30 minutes, then turn on the broiler for 1 to 3 minutes to brown the top slighlty (watch carefully!). Remove and let cool 10 minutes before serving.

Use to buy a kit like this. But never again. My hubby liked this so much he went back for 2nds. Have to make bigger one next time. He wanted 3rds when we had leftovers.😆

It was simple and delicious!  Making again for family get-together.

So good! And so easy to make! I doubled the recipe and used a 13x9 pan for our weekly family dinner. Everyone loved it so much!

Made this for the 2 of us-cut recipe in little more than half-added some mashed bl.beans to layers. Sprinkled cumin over meat when saute.Extra water and used 4 white tortillas. Topped with s.cream&amp; prepared avocado and cilantro.Yumm

Family loved this recipe! Next time. I'll double the ingredients so we have leftovers

at 82, i have rolled, tucked, layered,
stacked...but finally, i followed your recipe and cut, layered placed in my 10"pyrex deep dish and in 110 out weather, 81 degrees in, i fired up my gas oven and baked this in a few more minutes than you..ovens vary...but all done in such a short time...my old body couldn't be more thrilled with this dish!!..it is wonderful in all aspects...start to finish!! thank you so much...out with the old (preparations, not me), and on with the new!

Delicious! Instead of taco seasoning I use chili, cumin, garlic, and sea salt. Doubled the recipe and added black beans. My 13 year old son was so intrigued by the delicious smell he actually came upstairs from his game console to help me put everything in the casserole dish!!

This has become one of our family favorites in quarantine and it really couldn’t be easier.  Thank you!!

I made this tonight.  My husband loved it.  He's usually not wild about casseroles.  I did use a small shallot and sautéd that once the meat was no longer pink.  I used a 15 oz. can of Hatch organic red enchilada sauce; thus used only 1/4 cup of water.

OH...MY...GOD!!! My family RAAAAAVVED about your recipe and how fabulous it was!  How much simpler it was to make the enchiladas as a casserole (no wetting/rolling/ripping the tortillas) again. This is going on our rotation (on a regular basis!).  Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe.
