Enchilada Lasagna Bake

This yummy creation is one of my first in my journey learning how to cook. It is relatively easy to make too!  First, you will need to make some of my Suzi's Creamy Dreamy Taco Meat.

Ingredients:

1 can Tomato Sauce
1 tbsp (or less) Chili Powder
1/4 tsp Oregano
1/4 tsp Cumin
1 clove Garlic
Diced Jalapenos (to taste)

1 pkg Soft Corn Tortillas
1 pkg Cheddar Cheese

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

While cooking your taco meat, simmer the first six ingredients in a medium saucepan.

Meanwhile, place first layer of tortillas in an oven safe dish.



Add a layer of the sauce mixture to the dish.



Add a layer of the taco meat.



Repeat steps twice with the top layers being tortillas and sauce topped with the cheese.



Bake in 350 degree oven for about 20-25 minutes until bubbling.



Serve with your choice of lettuce, sour cream, salsa, etc.

This taco meat is definitely not the norm. It's wonderful in a variety of Mexican food recipes. Its also a great way to keep the kiddos from making a mess with the sour cream and cheese because they are already in the meat.

Ingredients:

1 pound Ground Sirloin
1/2 Onion diced
Pepper
1/2 - 1 cup Sour Cream
1/2 - 1 cup Cheddar Cheese
1-1/2 tbsp Trade East Taco Seasoning

Instructions:

Brown ground sirloin and onions in medium fry pan with the pepper and taco seasoning. Once fully cooked, add desired amount of sour cream and cheese. Continue cooking until heated and sour cream and cheese are fully incorporated.

Use in your favorite recipe!

Suzi's Kicked Up Goulash

This is my special version of goulash with a little more spice than traditional versions. I finished mine in the crock pot but you can finish it in your dutch oven or the oven.

Ingredients:

1 Pound Ground Sirloin
1 Med onion chopped
1 Can Southwest Diced Tomatoes
1 Can Tomato Paste
1/2 Cup Water
1 Teaspoon Chili Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Oregano
1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
Pepper

Instructions:

Cook ground beef/sirloin, onion, garlic powder, and pepper in medium skillet.

While cooking ground beef, mix the tomatoes, tomato paste, water, oregano, and chili powder and put it in the crock pot or Dutch oven. Begin to heat. Add more spice or jalapeños for more "heat."

Add cooked beef to tomato mixture and mix well. Cook until completely heated.

When serving, top with Parmesan or mozzarella for a special treat.

Happy cooking, loving, crafting, and laughing!
