These easy beef enchiladas are kid friendly, meaty, cheesy, easy to prepare, can be made ahead and freeze really well. Definitely a family favorite!
Isn’t it nice to have tried and true, make ahead meals to rely on? These easy beef enchiladas are one of those recipes that I’ve made countless times because I can either make them in the morning or make them days in advance and freeze them. With school starting soon I like to have meals in my freezer ready to pull out and cook on those busy weeknights. So add these to your menu and let me know how you like them!
To start, brown the ground beef with the onions. While the beef is browning mix up the sauce and grate the cheese. The sauce for these easy beef enchiladas is a simple open the cans, dump and mix concoction.
Spray a 9×13 casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray and pour a cup of the sauce across the bottom. Lay out 8 medium size tortillas. Divide the browned beef and onions among them followed by some cheese. Roll up the tortillas and lay them seam down in the casserole dish. Pour the sauce over the top of the enchiladas making sure it gets in between each enchilada. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on the top. Either cover and refrigerate for later, properly cover and then freeze, or bake right away in a preheated (350 degrees) oven for 30 -40 minutes.
