How To Make enchilada casserole

• Step 1
  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown ground beef. Set aside.
• Step 2
  For sauce: Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in flour and chili powder, reduce heat to medium, and cook until lightly brown, stirring constantly to prevent burning flour.
• Step 3
  For Sauce con't: Combine tomato sauce, water, cumin, garlic powder, and onion salt. Carefully add to the flour and chili powder until smooth, and continue cooking over medium heat approximately 10 minutes, or until thickened slightly. Season to taste with salt. Set aside.
• Step 4
  Build Casserole: Start with a deep dish 9x13 pan (I use the large rectangle stoneware pan from Pampered Chef) Spread 1/4c sauce on the bottom. Lay corn tortillas to cover the bottom (I cut them in half and put the straight edges against the side and fill gaps with triangles (the halves cut again). Use 1/4 of beef, 1c of the cheese and 1/4-1/2c sauce. Repeat layering tortilla, beef, then cheese until all ingredients are used ending with sauce and cheese.
• Step 5
  Bake casserole for 30 minutes or until internal temp is between 150-160 degrees.
• Step 6
  ENJOY!
