Enchilada Casserole Ingredients
I love how quick and easy it is to put a delicious meal on the table for my family. It is even easier if you use leftover shredded chicken or beef from other meals you make in the week. The best part is how quickly it can be put together – in 30 minutes.
Ground beef – Cook and drain the grease from the beef. It is best to use lean ground beef that has less fat and won’t have too much grease left behind. Seasonings – Chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper give a savory and spicy Mexican flavor together. Cream cheese – This is a creamy base that melts together and gives the casserole the a creamy texture. Sour cream – Cool the enchilada casserole down with sour cream and blend in flavor. Red enchilada sauce – Gives authentic Mexican flavor with the red sauce. Cheeses – Shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey jack cheese melt together giving it a melty cheese look and appeal. Corn – Frozen corn is best and thawed ahead of time. Green chiles – Grab a can of diced green chiles to add into the casserole. Egg noodles – Cook the noodles according to the package. Then add it into the casserole dish to bake all together.
