How to Make Beef Enchilada Bake

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Stir in 1 cup of your favorite salsa and 8 oz of cubed Velveeta cheese into the browned beef.
  3. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until the Velveeta is completely melted and the mixture is well combined.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Lay out 12 corn or flour tortillas. Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of the beef mixture down the center of each tortilla.
  6. Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  7. Pour the remaining 1 cup of salsa evenly over the rolled enchiladas.
  8. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
  9. Bake for 15 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil and sprinkle 1.5 cups of Mexican cheese blend over the enchiladas.
  11. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the enchiladas are heated through.
  12. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with sour cream and your favorite toppings (optional).
