How to Make Simple Enchiladas Casserole

  1. Brown 1 lb of ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Stir in 2 (10 ounce) cans of enchilada sauce and 1 (15 ounce) can of refried beans. Mix well.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  4. Tear 6-8 corn or flour tortillas into strips. Place a layer of tortilla strips in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  5. Spread half of the beef mixture evenly over the tortilla layer.
  6. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese over the meat mixture.
  7. Repeat layers: add another layer of tortillas, the remaining beef mixture, and the remaining 1 cup of cheese.
  8. Pour the remaining 1 can of enchilada sauce over the top layer of cheese.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, chopped cilantro, and extra cheese.
