So why not make it GREAT!!

Just an easy way of organizing my favorite things to do.... from cooking, sewing, crafting and more. I am always in search of great recipes and when I happen to find one my family loves I post it here to make it easier for me to find it rather then wonder where on earth I found it.

Beef Enchiladas


1 lb ground beef
1 clove garlic, minced
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 can cream of chicken
1 can red enchilada sauce
1/2 can milk
1 dozen flour tortillas
2 cups cheddar cheese blend
1 can olives, sliced
sour cream

In saucepan brown ground beef, add onion and garlic and set aside. In a bowl, mix cream of chicken, enchilada sauce and milk. (If you like a milder sauce you can add up to 1 full can of milk). In a sprayed 9x13 pan place some of the sauce in the bottom of pan and spread around. I like to add a little of the sauce into the beef to make it more moist, about 1/3 cup or so. Then take a tortilla and place it into the pan, spread some sauce onto the tortilla, add some beef, cheese and olives and roll up. Continute this until the pan is complete. Pour the additional sauce over the tortillas, sprinkle them with cheese and olives. Bake at 350 uncovered for 30 minutes. Serve with a dallop of sour cream.

I also like to make cheese enchiladas with this recipe. The kids tend to eat them better. I usually have enough sauce and tortillas to make atleast 2 or 3.
