I love eating enchiladas, I just don’t love making them. All that filling and rolling before you get to the baking and eating! I found this recipe for Enchilada Casserole in “Almost Homemade” by Gooseberry Patch, and knew I would have to try it.

It’s basically an enchilada lasagna! Mix up all your ingredients. Then instead of rolling the filling inside your tortillas, layer everything in your pan like a lasagna. A spicy, Mexican, lasagna.

In addition to being tasty, this was so simple to put together. Farmer Doc helped (really, he was anxious to get the next Star Wars movie started, so anything to hurry dinner along was a bonus). I had grabbed some pre-cooked slow cooker ground beef out of the freezer earlier that day, and that cut even more time off the prep for this casserole.

Then he decided he was really hungry, and just needed to take them all. I guess I was done photographing!

By the way, in case you were wondering, I do take my food photos in the basement. Which is also now a playroom for a busy toddler with lots of tractors.

We used a pound of ground beef and a can of black beans. You could easily substitute pulled or diced chicken and pinto beans, or sausage and white beans. Add extra beans, or toss in some diced bell peppers to add more veggies to this dish.

And, once again, I focused on the main dish and forgot about a side. What’s your favorite side dish to have with a Mexican main course?

Enjoy!
