Beef Enchiladas

This is what I am making for dinner tonight! Has been one of my favorite dinners since I was little and Roxie would make! Yummy!

Ingredients
1 lb ground beef

1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)

½ cup sour cream

1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

1/4 tsp ground pepper

1/3 cup green bell pepper, chopped

2/3 cup water

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves

1/4 tsp ground cumin

4.5 oz can diced green chiles

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

1 15 oz cab tomato sauce

8 tortillas (5-6" in diameter)

Directions

1. Heat oven to 350.

2. Cook beef and onion in 10-inch skillet over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until brown; drain. STIR in sour cream, 1 cup cheese, the parsley, and pepper. Remove from heat.

3. Heat bell pepper, water, chili powder, oregano, cumin, chilies (which I don’t use), garlic, and tomato sauce to boiling in 2-qt saucepan, stirring occasionally; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered 5 minutes. Pour into ungreased pie plate.

4. Dip each tortilla into sauce in pie plate to coat both sides. SPOON about ¼ cup beef mixture onto each tortilla; fold up tortilla. Place seam side down in ungreased rectangular baking dish, 11 x 7 x 1 ½ inches. Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas.

5. Bake uncovered about 20 minutes or until bubbly.
6. Garnish with shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped onions.  I also put salsa on top!

"Cheater Lasgana"

For my BZ girls!

1 Pound Hamburger
1 Small onion
½ package egg noodles (in the bag)
1 cup sour cream
1 cup cottage cheese
2 cups mozzarella cheese
1 jar spaghetti sauce (which ever kind you like!)

Brown burger and onion, mix in sauce and set aside.  Boil noodles and drain.  Use a greased casserole pan.  Make sure the noodles are drained very well and lay on the bottom.  Next take the sour cream and cottage cheese, mix and lay on top of the noodles.  Next will be the meat/sauce.  Make sure you kind of drain the sauce so it isn’t super runny.  Layer this next.  Last is the cheese.  Bake at 350 for 35 minutes or until cheese is browned.  Serve with garlic bread! A family favorite.
