Recipes of the Week

In hopes to get everyone into sharing recipes, I have decided to have a theme for the week. I want all your favorite recipes to be posted by next Friday. There are lots of themes we can work with: casseroles, crockpot, cupcake, cookie, bread, muffin, roll, soup, salad, appetizer, you name it!!! This can be fun if everyone plays along.

My sister called me a couple of days ago wanting to know what she could make with ground beef. It couldn't be meatloaf, spaghetti ot tacos. This got me to thinking. How much variety do I really have when it comes to ground beef??? Not as much as I would like.

The theme for this week is: Ground Beef

I got this from a recipe exchange in the ward. My sister's family loved it--as does mine.

Enchilada Casserole
1 lb hamburger--cooked and drained 1 10 oz pkg corn chips – reg or scoop
1 15 oz can chili with beans 1 C sour cream
1 8 oz can tomato sauce 1 C grated cheddar cheese
1 10 oz can mild enchilada sauce
Mix enchilada sauce, chili, tomato sauce, and hamburger together in a 2 quart casserole dish. Take out 1 ½ C of corn chips and set aside. Then add the rest of the corn chips to the sauce mixture. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for ½ hour. Add in layers: sour cream, cheese, and crushed up corn chips. Bake for 10 more minutes. YUMMMMM
