HOW TO MAKE BEEF ENCHILADA CASSEROLE
Start by browning the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. When the beef is about halfway browned, add the onion and cook until the beef is fully browned and the onions are soft. Reduce the heat and add the garlic, cooking for about 1 minute while stirring constantly. Add 1 cup of the enchilada sauce, beans, and green chiles. Stir to combine cooking over low heat for a few minutes. Spread a couple of tablespoons of enchilada sauce on the bottom of the casserole dish. Lay 1/4 of the tortillas on the bottom, then spread 1/3 of the beef mixture and 1/4 of each cheese. Repeat these layers two more times. Finally, top with the last layer of flour tortillas, the remaining enchilada sauce, and the remaining cheese.
