Enchilada Casserole

Here is  new recipe I can't wait to try. Granted, it may not be the most frugal with prepackaged things like soup, taco sauce and doritos....but if it keeps me out of the cafe...it IS frugal!


Enchilada Casserole


1 lb. ground beef

1 onion, chopped

1 tbsp. chopped garlic

1/2 tsp. seasoning salt

1/2 tsp. garlic salt

1-10 oz. can enchilada sauce

1-10 3/4 oz. can cream of chicken soup

1-8 oz. jar taco sauce

1-12 oz. bag nacho cheese-flavored Doritos, crushed

Shredded cheese, optional

Chopped cilantro, optional



Brown beef, adding onion, garlic, seasoning salt, and garlic salt. Drain well and return to skillet. Add the enchilada sauce, cream of chicken soup, and taco sauce. Stir well and bring to a simmer on medium low heat. Once the mixture has heated through, crush 1/3 of the chips and spread on the bottom of a greased casserole dish. Add one half of the beef mixture. Add another 1/3 of the crushed chips on top of the beef mixture. Add the remaining beef mixture and top with remaining chips. Bake at 350 degrees until heated through, about 30 minutes. Add cheese, if desired in the last few minutes of cooking.
