Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Beef Enchilada Casserole.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a spacious nonstick skillet, heat it up over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Toss in the ground beef and cook, stirring often, until it’s beautifully browned and crumbly, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 4
Once browned, mix in the taco seasoning until everything is well blended.
Step 5
Transfer this savory beef mixture to a large bowl, making sure to keep the flavorful drippings in the skillet.
Step 6
Next, add the chopped sweet onion and green onions to the skillet with the reserved drippings.
Step 7
Sauté over medium heat until the onions become tender, roughly 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 8
Combine the cooked onions with the beef mixture, then introduce the softened cream cheese and salsa.
Step 9
Stir until the cream cheese melts into a creamy delight and the mixture is thoroughly combined.
Step 10
On a clean, flat surface, lay out the warmed corn tortillas.
Step 11
Evenly distribute the beef mixture down the center of each tortilla, then sprinkle about a tablespoon of shredded pepper Jack cheese on top.
Step 12
Roll each tortilla tightly over the filling and place them seam-side down in a baking dish.
Step 13
Generously pour the enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 14
Finish by sprinkling the remaining shredded cheese and the drained black olives on top.
Step 15
Bake in your preheated oven until the cheese is gloriously melted and bubbly, which should take around 20 minutes.
Step 16
Enjoy the delightful aroma as your enchiladas transform into a cheesy, comforting masterpiece!.
