Beef Enchilada Casserole Recipe

[erin.tpc]

I have heard so much about this recipe, but do not have it myself. I know it's in the "29 Minutes to Dinner" cookbook...which I don't have yet. I tried searching but am not finding it. Does anyone by chance have it already typed out/saved on their computer? I can just borrow my Director's cookbook when she gets in from being out of town next week, but I thought I'd check here too. TIA!

CHEF’S CORNER

Easily cut a stack of tortillas using Pizza Cutter
If desired, 1 tbsp taco seasoning mix can be substituted for the Southwestern Seasoning Mix
For a variation in flavor, substitute ground turkey and green enchilada sauce for the beef and red enchilada sauce, if desired
For a spicier kick, hot salsa can be substituted for medium salsa, if desired
If yellow corn tortillas are not available white corn tortillas can be substituted

By the way, this recipe is awesome. I prefer the white corn tortillas to the taste of the yellow and I usually put mine in the oven until the cheese is melted.
