Easy Cheesey Enchilada Casserole

1 pkg corn tortillas (small - 12 in package)
bag of grated cheddar cheese
1 pkg enchilada sauce mix + 1 eight (8) oz can of tomato sauce
1 lb ground beef (we use Laura's 4%)

PREP:

Preheat oven to 350
Set aside enough cheese to sprinkle over the top of dish when finished
Lightly grease a 9 by 9 or 8 by 8 casserole dish (or whatever you want to use!)

COOKING
1.Brown Ground Beef (We don;t drain ours because we use the lean beef but if you need to drain it, do so before moving to step 3.)
2. Prepare enchilada sauce according to package directions (using the mix, water & tomato sauce)
*Use a big enough saucepan that will allow you to dip the tortillas in the sauce
3. Pour 1/2 of sauce into browned round beef and let it simmer a bit

Making The Casserole:
One at a time, dip 4 tortillas into the sauce, coating them on both sides and then layer then into a casserole dish, creating the bottom layer.

Then layer on the meat, then cheese.

Repeat layering process until you're out of ingredients! Sprinkle with remaining cheese and then pour the rest of the sauce over the top.

Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.

I served this with a guacamole salad. Delish!
