Some nights I'll spend hours putting together a complicated recipe with unusual ingredients, making everything from scratch. But other nights I love those quick and easy recipes that use can food and/or mixes, take no effort, and still taste great.
I'm the kind of cook that loves to watch The Barefoot Contessa one day and Sandra Lee's Semi-Homemade the next.
What can I say...I'm a bit bipolar with my cooking!
This recipe is one of the easy one's. Developed some time ago when I was too lazy or tired to roll my simple beef enchilada's. It tastes the same, and is a whole lot easier.
ENCHILADA CASSEROLE
(Mindi Original)
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 small onion diced
1 green bell pepper diced
1 can enchilada sauce (your favorite brand and heat level)
9-12 corn tortilla's (amount depends on the size of your casserole dish)
2 C. shredded cheddar cheese
2 C. shredded mozzarella cheese
1. Brown the beef, onion, and pepper in a medium sauce pan, seasoning with salt and pepper. Add enchilada sauce to the beef mixture.
2. In a small bowl mix the two cheese together.
3. Spray a medium casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
4. Layer the ingredients in the casserole dish as follows:
3-4 corn tortillas
1/3 beef mixture
1/3 cheese
3-4 corn tortillas
1/3 beef mixture
1/3 cheese
3-4 corn tortillas
1/3 beef mixture
1/3 cheese
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

I love quick and easy! My rule of thumb usually is to look for recipes that have 5 ingredients or less. Oh, and the ingredients have to be readily available. None of the fancy schmancy stuff. Hooray for Ina Garten!
Yum! These look great!!! I'm exactly like you in the kitchen. It's fun to all out somedays and take it easy other days.
