Made this last night, and my family and I loved it! I added taco seasoning to the meat, along with a little garlic salt, onion powder, and cayenne pepper for a little kick. Also, I mixed the Rotel into the meat mixture instead of layering it on top. It did come out a bit soupy because I think I used too much Velveeta, but it was still yummy, and I will definitely make it again.
Not bad at all. Kids loved it. The only change I made was adding taco seasoning to the meat. I will make this again! Was easy to make early in the day, so it was ready to cook when they were hungry.
So this rating is based on a modified version, which I'll post below. I used the original as a springboard and went from there. Whole family ended up liking it. cook 1 lb beef, 1 onion (diced), and taco seasoning (then add) 15 oz can corn (drained), 15 oz can black beans (drained), 28 oz diced tomatoes with seasonings, 10 oz cheddar cheese soup (separate layer) 2 cups rice cooked with 1 tbsp adobo seasoning added (then) layer with tortillas, top with shredded cheese before baking in the oven.
I used 2lbs of ground beef sautéed with one onion. I added a can of rotel to the sautéed mixture along with the cheese and soup. I then added chili powder and garlic. I recommend using extra tortillas and less velveeta cheese. Would make a great appetizer with tortilla chips!
I've been looking for a caserole like this for years! Like the rest of the y'all I mix taco seasoning and it was phenomenal!
Obviously this isn't the most nutritious recipe, though it tastes great! I made some changes to try to use less red meat and add some veggies. I halved the ground beef and used a can of black beans. I diced onion, green pepper, and mushrooms, adding those after browning the beef. Then instead of using a packet of taco seasoning, I added cumin, paprika, chilli powder, garlic powder, black pepper and red pepper flakes to taste. This mixture of spices has no salt, as the cheese has plenty. Next time I think I will also half the cheese. I agree with the suggestion to use flour tortillas.
Very good. I also added salt pepper garlic powder and taco seasoning to the beef and onions. For less spice of the rotel (my kids don't care for spicy stuff) I added sour cream to them. And I also topped with cheddar cheese. overall it was a very good recipe. I'll make it again for sure.
As I was preparing the dish, I realized that, other than the royal, there was absolutely no spices in this dish that would give it a Mexican flavor. The ingredients alone do not make this dish worthy of the name “enchilada”. The only reason I gave it 3 stars was because I went completely off the grid with it. I sautéed an onion with the ground beef. I added a ton of chili powder, cilantro, and cumin, and red pepper flakes for more heat. Also, 1 can of Rotel is laughable unless you want only a minimal amount of tomatoes per layer. Without any of the spices, it’s pretty much cheeseburger corn tortilla bake.
