How to Make Dynamite Enchiladas

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef, 1 medium chopped onion, and 1 chopped green bell pepper in a large skillet. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine 28 oz can crushed tomatoes, 15 oz can tomato puree, 15 oz can diced tomatoes, and 15 oz can crushed tomatoes.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup cold water and 2 packets (or 2 tbsp) dry enchilada seasoning to prevent clumping.
  4. Add the seasoning mixture to the tomato sauce. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened.
  5. Drain the cooked ground beef mixture and set aside.
  6. Add 2 lbs shredded cheese to the beef mixture and stir until thoroughly combined.
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  8. Lightly coat each tortilla with some of the sauce, then fill with 1-2 heaping spoonfuls of the meat mixture and roll tightly.
  9. Pour 2 ladles of sauce into the bottom of two 9x13 inch baking dishes.
  10. Arrange the filled enchiladas seam-down in the baking dishes.
  11. Cover the enchiladas with remaining sauce and top with the remaining cheese.
  12. Cover the dishes with foil.
  13. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  14. Remove from oven, let cool for 10 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.
