Enchiladas are a treat to get at a restaurant: golden tortillas rolled around a savory meat or cheese filling, then smothered with sauce and topped with melty cheese. It\u2019s a delicious and familiar dish, but one that can be time-consuming to make from scratch. Luckily, there are several fun ways to make enchiladas at home<\/a>\u2014like this beef enchilada casserole recipe.<\/p>\n We make this easy casserole by seasoning ground beef with salsa and enchilada sauce. It\u2019s saucy enough to satisfy, but not so saucy that it\u2019ll make the enchiladas soggy. This beefy mixture is stacked in a baking dish with tortillas, corn and cheese, then it’s baked off. Enchilada casserole captures everything we love about the original dish, without all the extra work. The dish comes together in less than an hour!<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles. Drain the excess grease, then stir in the enchilada sauce and salsa.<\/p>\n Place two tortillas (overlapping as necessary) in the bottom of a greased 13×9-inch baking dish. Cover them with one-third of the meat mixture. Top with 1 cup corn and 1-1\/3 cups cheese.<\/p>\n Repeat the layers once, then finish with the remaining tortillas, meat and cheese.<\/p>\n Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until bubbly. If desired, garnish with diced tomatoes, sliced jalapenos, and sour cream.<\/p>\n Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. They\u2019ll taste great, but the tortillas will become soggy over time as they absorb moisture. It\u2019s best to reheat the casserole in a 350\u00b0 oven to restore the original texture. In a pinch, you can use the microwave, but the tortillas will be very soft.<\/p>\n It’s best to freeze enchilada casserole before baking it. Cover the unbaked casserole, and store it in the freezer for up to three or four months. To use, partially thaw the casserole in the refrigerator overnight. Remove the dish from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Bake the casserole as directed, increasing the time as needed to heat through. The casserole is finished when a thermometer inserted in the center reads 165\u00b0.<\/p>\n We use store-bought enchilada sauce to make this easy enchilada casserole. That said, you can make your own enchilada sauce<\/a> in about 30 minutes! To make your own enchilada sauce, make a roux with flour and olive oil in a saucepan. Add spices like chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Add a little brown sugar for a sweet-and-spicy vibe. Cook for a few minutes to bring out the spices’ aromatic compounds. Then, whisk in vegetable broth, and simmer until thickened, about 20 minutes.<\/p>\n Serve enchilada casserole with homemade taco<\/a> toppings, like sour cream, sliced or pickled red onion, thinly sliced radishes, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado or guacamole<\/a>, lime wedges, jalapenos, hot sauce or salsa. The casserole is plenty filling on its own, but you can pair it with Mexican side dishes<\/a> or a light salad.<\/p>\n There is already salsa in this enchilada casserole recipe, but you can substitute more of it for the enchilada sauce if you’d like. However, enchilada sauce is smoother and a bit creamier than salsa, and it makes the dish taste more authentic.<\/p>\n Enchiladas can become soggy if they\u2019re made with too much sauce. This recipe isn\u2019t your typical enchilada dish, though, as we layer the filling layered with tortillas (like a Mexican lasagna<\/a>). The sauce is mixed in with the beef mixture, and the added cheese in the layers helps make this a creamy, but not soggy, dish. Baking it uncovered will evaporate any unnecessary liquid, too.<\/p>\n Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for enchiladas, but either tortilla works for this recipe. For a more authentic flavor, swap in corn tortillas\u2014no extra preparation or adjustments needed. Corn tortillas typically come in larger packages, but you can use up the extras in these corn tortilla recipes<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Try our stacked enchilada

I used Rotel tomatoes with green chilies instead of adding salsa.using the one cup as you would salsa. I also used a blended shredded cheese called Cheddar and Asadero by Kraft. I was able to use canned corn (drained) and it was very good. I did not have 10inch tortilla shells and just used what I had on hand at the time...6\" with layering 2 1\/2 shells per layer and it was fine, it didn't cover the bottom of the 9x13 completely but it still worked and was amazing. Cheese melted some down the sides to the bottom of the pan and crisped up nicely, so yummy! We LOVE this recipe both ways. My way just gives it a deeper flavor.

Enchilada Casserole Tips <\/h2>
Can you use salsa instead of enchilada sauce?<\/h3>There is already salsa in this enchilada casserole recipe, but you can feel free to substitute more of it for the enchilada sauce if you'd like. However, enchilada sauce is smoother and a bit creamier than salsa, and it makes for a more authentic dish. You can buy it or make your own homemade enchilada sauce<\/a>.
How do you keep enchiladas from getting soggy?<\/h3>This recipe isn\u2019t your typical enchilada dish, as it\u2019s layered with tortillas almost like lasagna. The cheese and sauce will make this a creamy (but not soggy) dish, and baking it uncovered will evaporate any unnecessary liquid. \r\n
Is it better to use corn or flour tortillas for enchiladas?<\/h3>For a more authentic flavor, feel free to use corn tortillas\u2014no extra preparation or adjustments needed. If you have extras, try these other recipes that use corn tortillas<\/a>.
