Enchilada Casserole

Not sure if someone already posted a recipe like this... if so, I am posting it again! :)
I finally went grocery shopping lastnight so I can start making REAL meals (versus cereal, eggs, and grilled cheese sandwhices). I enjoy cooking when I know I have all the ingrediants and its simple and easy to make. So thats why this meal is perfect!! Its super duper easy and fairly quick to make.

Ingrediants:
Ground turkey (or beef or chicken... whatever!)
Onions
Jalapenos (optional... but they added a great flavor)
Enchalada sauce (one small can should do... but if you are making a huge casserole you might want to add some more. I used red sauce but a mix of red/green is always good)
Cheese
corn tortillas

Brown the turkey in a skillet and mix with onions and any peppers desired.
Once turkey is cooked, add a small amount of enchalada sauce for added flavor.



In a casserole dish of choice, coat in oil (make sure you coat it well. Dont want sticking!) and layer with corn tortilla halfs. (Half tortillas allow you to line the edges of the dish perfectly. That way cheese or meat wont bake to the pan)

Place a layer of cheese on the tortilla halfs. Then fill your dish with the prepared meat. Place a second layer of tortilla halfs on top of meat and sprinkle cheese over the top. Final topping is pouring the remainder enchalada sauce over the entire dish.


Place in preheated oven (350 degrees) for about 10 minutes. Long enough to get everything melted and hot!!


this is what is looks like after you have pigged into it before taking a picture of the final product.


and this is what a happy husband who hardly gets a home cooked meal looks like while stuffing his face like a starving child (a very handsome starving child at that!)

Thats it folks... enjoy!
