MEXICAN LAYERED CASSEROLE GROUND BEEF RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef and onion until beef is no longer pink. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer until most of the liquid has disappeared, about 5 minutes.
• Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce in the prepared baking dish. Tear two tortillas into large pieces and layer them over the sauce. Top with 1/2 of the meat mixture, 1/3 of the remaining sauce, and 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat once.
• Finish with a third layer of torn tortillas, the remaining sauce and the remaining cheese. Cover and bake for 25-30 minutes. Uncover and bake for 5-10 minutes more, or until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbly.

Steps:

• Spray 5-quart oval slow cooker with cooking spray. Spoon 1/2 cup enchilada sauce into bottom of slow cooker; spread evenly. In small bowl, reserve 1/2 cup enchilada sauce; set aside.
• In 12-inch skillet, cook beef, onion, poblano chiles and garlic over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is thoroughly cooked. Drain if necessary. Stir in remaining enchilada sauce (not the 1/2 cup reserved), the black beans, corn and taco seasoning mix. Cook and stir about 3 minutes or until heated through. Remove from heat.
• Place 1 tortilla in center of slow cooker. Cut 1 tortilla in half; place one half on each side of whole tortilla. Spoon 1 1/3 cups beef mixture over tortillas; sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the cheese. Top with 2 more tortillas, cutting to fit. Repeat layers 3 more times with beef mixture, tortillas and cheese. Top with reserved 1/2 cup sauce.
• Cover; cook on Low heat setting 3 hours. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese. Turn slow cooker off; cover and let stand about 15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with cilantro.
• Serve immediately with toppings.
