ENCHILADA CASSEROLE

For dinner last night I tried this new Recipe from the Family Cookbook. It's called Enchilada Casserole and since we love Mexican food it was a must try for me. It was wonderful, so so good, hubby kept repeating "this is SO good" in between bites and even the kids ate it all without complains and questions about what is on the plate, and is it a vegetable, can I eat it, does it taste yucky, is it hot?

Anyway, enjoy and if you try it, let me know how you liked it :)

ENCHILADA CASSEROLE

2 lb. lean ground beef
3 small onions, chopped
1 can (4 ox.) diced green chile peppers
1/4 tsp. McCormick Garlic Powder
1 can (10 ox.) enchilada sauce
12 corn tortillas
2 cups Kraft Finely Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 can (10 3/4 ox.) cream of mushroom soup


Preheat oven to 400º F. In large skillet cook ground beef, onions, undrained chile peppers, and garlic powder, half at a time, until beef is brown and onions are tender. Drain fat.

Pour enchilada sauce into shallow dish. Dip 3 of the tortillas in sauce. Place in 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Top with one-fourth of the meat mixture, one-fourth of the cheese, and one-fourth of the soup. Repeat layers 3 more times. pour any remaining enchilada sauce over top.

Tightly cover pan with foil. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil. Bake about 5 minutes or until heated through.

Serves 8.

Camping Trips are just around the corner

I see a lot of people starting to gear up for camping trips, I think that after the cold months we're all itching to get out there and enjoy warm weather and fresh air.

To get us all into the Camping Mood, I'm sharing a great recipe that I'm sure you'll all enjoy.

Camping Sausage-Potato Dinner

Ingredients

1 pkg. (32 ox) frozen Ore-Ida Potatoes O'Brien

1 pkg (16 ox.) small fully-cooked smoked sausage links

3/4 cup ranch salad dressing

1 1/4 cups Kraft Shredded Cheddar & Monterey

3 green onions, sliced

Directions

Preheat grill. Lightly coat four 18x12-inch pieces of heavy foil with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

In large bowl combine potatoes, sausage links, and salad dressing. Spoon mixture into centers of foil pieces. Bring up opposite edges of foil and seal with double fold. Fold remaining edges together to completely enclose, leaving space for steam to build.

Place foil packets on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium heat for 30 to 35 minutes or until potatoes are tender, turning several times. Carefully open packets. Sprinkle with cheese and green onions. Loosely close packets.

Let stand about 5 minutes or until cheese melts.
