Make Ahead Meals: Beefy Enchilada Bake
Author: Laura
Serves: 6-10
- 1 pound Ground hamburger meat
- 3 Tablespoons arrowroot powder or cornstarch
- ½ cup water
- 1-2 teaspoons chili powder (depending on your taste)
- salt
- 3 cups tomato sauce
- 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
- 12 corn tortillas
- Brown hamburger meat.
- Do not drain grease!
- Put cooked hamburger meat in separate bowl, salt and set aside.
- Sprinkle arrowroot powder into the grease and stir (if you do not have enough grease to absorb the arrowroot powder, add 2 T. butter).
- Keep your burner on medium to high heat.
- Pour in water and “smoosh” the clumps of arrowroot powder/grease around while you stir the water in.
- This will thicken and make a gravy.
- Pour in tomato sauce and chili powder.
- Stir well until bubbly. This is now your enchilada sauce!
- Cut corn tortillas into one inch strips.
- Dip tortilla strips in enchilada sauce and coat thoroughly.
- Cover bottom of baking dish with enchilada sauce coated tortilla strips.
- Sprinkle ⅓ of the cooked ground beef over the tortillas…then a little cheese.
- Repeat layers twice more: enchilada sauce coated tortilla strips, meat, cheese.
- If you have any leftover enchilada sauce, drizzle it over the top.
- Cover and bake at 350° for 30 – 40 minutes or until bubbly.
