How to Make Enchilada Stack Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add 1 medium chopped onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 cup salsa, and 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes to the skillet.
  4. Stir in 1 ounce packet of enchilada seasoning mix.
  5. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly. Season to taste.
  6. Lightly spray an 11x7 inch or 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  7. Layer the bottom of the baking dish with quartered tortillas.
  8. Spread half of the meat mixture over the tortillas.
  9. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese over the meat.
  10. Repeat layers: tortillas, remaining meat mixture, and the remaining 1 cup of cheese.
  11. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
  12. Bake for 30 minutes.
  13. Remove foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and slightly browned.
  14. Let cool slightly before cutting and serving with sour cream, diced tomatoes, and shredded lettuce.
