Larry's Easy Cheesy Enchilada Casserole

Enchilada Casserole

Larry's Easy Cheesy Enchilada Casserole is a dish of baked enchiladas without the hassle of rolling the fillings in corn tortillas. Think of it as Mexican lasagna. This is really easy, my kids love it and I predict it will become the new favorite casserole for pot luck suppers. I've used Larry's Ranchero Sauce in this recipe, but feel free to use Larry's Chipotle Sauce instead.

1 16 oz. jar Larry's Ranchero or Chipotle Sauce
6 to 8 soft corn tortillas
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/2 lb. ground beef, chicken or turkey
2 cups grated cheddar or Monterrey Jack cheese

1. Preheat the oven to 350'
2. Add the vegetable oil to a medium sized pot and brown the ground meat.
3. Add Larry's Ranchero or Chipotle Sauce to the pot and stir it into the browned meat.
4. In a two quart baking dish, place a spoonful of warm sauce mix on the bottom.
5. Place a corn tortilla on top of that. Sprinkle with cheese and more sauce and cover with another layer of tortilla.
6. Repeat with the layers of sauce mix, tortillas and cheese ending with sauce mix over all topped with cheese.
7. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until the casserole is hot and bubbly.

Serves 4 to 6
