Ingredients

  • 1 pound 90% lean ground beef
  • 15 ounce can mild red enchilada sauce (I use Hatch brand)
  • 2 teaspoons Homemade Taco Seasoning Mix (or a store-bought blend)
  • 16 ounce can pinto or black beans rinsed and drained
  • 4 ounce can diced green chiles drained
  • 2 cups shredded cheese divided (I used sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack)

Optional Toppings

  • 2.25 ounce can sliced olives drained
  • 3 green onions thinly sliced
  • 1 roma tomato diced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over MEDIUM heat. Cook and stir until crumbled and no pink remains. Drain the grease from the pan and return it to LOW heat. Add the enchilada sauce, taco seasoning, beans, and green chiles and stir to combine. Stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheese and remove the pan from the heat.
  • Pour the mixture into a baking dish and top with the remaining cheese. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes.
  • Garnish with the toppings of choice and serve with tortilla chips or corn chips.

Notes

Make-Ahead Instructions: Follow as directed but after transferring the mixture to the baking dish, cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate. When ready to bake, remove from refrigerator and allow to sit out for 30 to 45 minutes and then top with cheese and bake as directed. Cooking time will be longer if cold when going in the oven.
