Beef Enchilada Casserole

Beef Enchilada Casserole

This Beef Enchilada Casserole is my take on a dish we used to eat for dinner when I was growing up. It’s become a family favorite in our home. With rave reviews from adults and kids, it’s great to serve when company comes or to take to the church potluck.

You know how I love versatility in the kitchen, and this Mexican recipe is definitely that. You can make a homemade cheese sauce by cooking up a roux and then adding milk and cheese.

Or, if you’re in a hurry, you can substitute a can of cream soup for the roux, then just add the milk and cheese from there.

You can also take the spiciness up a notch or two by using medium or hot enchilada sauce instead of mild. Want it extra spicy? Add red pepper flakes to the ground beef mixture.

Keep in mind that this casserole always tastes better the next day so it’s the perfect dish to make ahead. Just pop it in the oven when you’re ready to eat. It freezes well too!

Make sure to have lots of flavorful garnishes on hand for your Beef Enchilada Casserole like extra cheese, diced tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream and of course, guacamole!
