Enchilada Casserole

Posted by Wynnebaer.....Made this for dinner last night,it was delicious. I added some chopped jalapeno,garlic powder,salt ,cumin and pepper to the meat. I used ground turkey.
The next time ,I may cut back on the sauce. It was a little more liquid than I would like. In Wynne's pic,it seemed more firm but followed recipe exactly. It had a wonderful taste and we enjoyed it. Thanks for a nice,easy recipe....

Enchilada Casserole
by Wynnebaer
Made this on Friday night & what a great dish! Lots of flavor and easy to prepare, great for a weeknight meal, especially if the sauce is made ahead of time (I made my own, using Elgourmand’s recipe). This was a big hit and will definitely be made again (and again!) in our house. I used fat free refried beans to mix with my meat and sauce, because that’s what I had and the result was wonderful! Since we have varying opinions in our house about most beans, but a general consensus regarding refried beans, I’ll stick with that variation, since it works for us. I also added a bit of jalapeno, per Pat’s recommendation. I think this recipe can hold up to lots of cool experimentation and variations.
Thanks so much for the wonderful post, Wynne!!

Thanks so very much, Brooke.

Frankieanne, It's just the 2 of us here and I cook up the meat and add the beans, etc and split it in half and freeze half for another time. And I assemble it in a loaf pan using only 2 tortillas cut in half.....It's great stuffed in poblanos too. I know you cook for one alot so just a suggestion.

Frankianne,as I mentioned,I had a lot of liquid too. Thought I would use less enchilada sauce next time but it is delicious Green onions sound good. Wynne,was yours liquidy? Nice pic Frankieanne!!

Yes, I was thinking of cutting the enchilada sauce in half next time, too. Thanks, Pat! :)

I didn't have any trouble with excess liquid when I made this and it may have something to do with my use of refried beans instead of canned beans. Also, I didn't add the can of green chiles, since I didn't have any on hand, but I would agree that perhaps cutting that amount of enchilada sauce out would offset the liquid of the chiles. I also used homemade enchilida sauce, which was thicker than a canned sauce, so the consistency there may have helped mine. I wonder if cutting the sauce in half would be cutting too much out?

I haven't had a problem with it having too much liquid but I would certainly suggest if you make it again to decrease the amount of sauce to suit your taste....Happy to hear you enjoyed it otherwise.

I made this last night, it was so very good! I used about 1 3/4 cup enchilada sauce and it came out perfect! I also added 2 chopped jalapenos (one seeded) cooked with the onions so they weren't very hot/spicy at all, it was a nice addition:) Added my pics to the recipe..thanks Corinne for another wonderful recipe!

Marie, you are always so kind to me...I'm so happy you enjoyed the casserole and sorry it was to liquidy for you. I've made this recipe so many times and haven't made it the same way once. I'm sure adding anything you want to suit your taste would work, ML2C. :)

Corinne, on the contrary, it turned out perfect! Not liquidy at all..that's why I posted my 2 pics, to show the casserole before & after slicing into it! I used a can of sauce which had 7 - 1/4 cups and that equals 1 3/4 cups:) See how smart I am..LOL
