Beef Enchiladas

I'm not in a talkative mood today so on to the goodstuff, FOOD!


Beef Enchiladas
Ingredients:

• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 2 tsps ground cumin
• 1 can (8oz) tomato sauce
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 Tbs veggie or canola oil
• 2 Tbs cornstarch
• 2-3 Tbs chili powder
• 1 tsp sugar
• 10 tortillas
• 1 pound ground beef
• Shredded cheddar cheese (we like a lot of cheese so I did 3 cups)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare enchilada sauce as follows; In a skillet, whisk together the tomato sauce, chicken broth, and veggie oil. When combined, vigorously whisk the cornstarch into the sauce so it doesn't get clumpy. Add the chili powder, ground cumin, sugar, half the garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 8-10 minutes.

Brown the ground beef with the onion and remaining garlic. Drain excess fat. Add 1 cup of enchilada sauce and mix. Put a small amount of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Place an open tortilla into the sauce in the dish. Add some ground beef and sauce down the midline of the tortilla. Sprinkle with some cheese. Fold up sides and use sauce to help close tortilla. Continue until you are out of meat. Pour the rest of the enchilada sauce over the enchiladas. Sprinkle with cheese.

Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly.



One of the reasons my meals are cheap is because I shop sales and match with coupons. I stock up on items when they are on sale so I have them when I need them. You can click HERE to see an example of my shopping!
