How to make 5 Ingredient Ground Beef Enchilada Casserole
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees. Using non-stick cooking spray, grease a 9 x 11-inch baking pan.
Step 2: Cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink and cooked through. This takes about 6 to 9 minutes.
Step 3: Place the cooked ground beef, half of the enchilada sauce, and half of the cheese in a large bowl. Mix well until combined.
Step 4: On the bottom of the prepared baking dish, lay 4 of the tortillas. If needed, rip them to entirely cover the bottom of the pan.
Step 5: Place half of the beef mixture over the tortillas followed by half of the beans and drizzle with 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce. Do the same layers, one more time. On top, sprinkle the rest of the shredded cheese.
Step 6: Using foil, tent the pan. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until the casserole is completely cooked.
Step 7: Before serving, top the casserole with tomatoes and avocado or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
