Crock Pot Beef Enchilada Casserole is an easy, hearty, customizable meal loaded with beef, beans, corn, tortillas, and cheese. A meal all will love.DELICIOUS WEEKNIGHT CASSEROLE RECIPEReady for an easy to customize, cheesy, filling, hearty casserole? Crock Pot Enchilada Casserole is a super filling and simple dinner recipe. Plus, it can make nice leftovers too. It is easily customizable to your family tastes as well and can be made in the oven.FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:Can this be made in the oven? Yes. Follow the instructions below and instead of layering in the crock pot, you will layer in a 913-inch baking dish (make sure it is a deep baking dish or this could overflow) and bake uncovered for about 30-35 minutes (until the potatoes are fork tender.) Why add potatoes? I know, it may sound crazy and not Mexican food, but trust me, it really does work really well here. And lets be honest, this is in no way an authentic Mexican meal anyways ha! You can leave them out here if you prefer. What else can I add to the mix? I was going to make this with two pounds of ground beef but it is just getting so expensive these days, so instead, I added the corns, beans and hash browns to fill it out without the added cost of more ground beef. Personally, I am just trying to get a few more veggies and fiber in my diet. You can certainly adjust this to your tastes and leave out what you dont like What toppings can I try? Add toppings to make it extra filling. Try: diced tomatoes, fresh jalapeno, minced fresh cilantro, avocado, cotija cheese, sour cream, hot sauce, salsa, etc. What side dishes can I serve with this Enchilada Casserole? I feel like this casserole is a whole meal in itself, but you can serve it with a salad and some steamed veggies. Keep it simple, grab a bagged salad and a bag of microwavable steamed veggies and call it a night. How should I store leftovers? Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and can be kept in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. You could store them in a freezer safe container and keep them longer, for up to 3-6 months. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)ground beef With ground beef being so expensive I only used 1 pound. But you could use two if you wanted.If you really want another option, try using some cooked chicken instead. garlic powderonion powdertaco seasoning you can use low sodium taco seasoning if youre worried about the sodium content. Its even easier to control the sodium content and other ingredients used when you use some Homemade Taco Seasoning.diced green chiles I dont think this adds much in the way of spice but you can leave them out if you prefer.sliced black olives these are optional. If you dont like olives, omit these.can corn dont want corn? Dont add it.black beans If you dont like black beans, you can do pinto beans or kidney beans instead or leave them out.frozen diced hash browns These diced potatoes really make this a hearty filling meal, but, I suppose you could leave them out if you dont like the idea of adding them to the casserole. You could use freshly diced potatoes, but, youd need to cut them up pretty small so everything cooks evenly. With freshly diced potatoes, everything else might get mushy while waiting for them to finish cooking. enchilada sauce You can make some Homemade Enchilada Sauce if you want to.corn tortillas flour tortillas could be used too. shredded Mexican Cheese use whatever shredded cheese you you prefer. HOW TO MAKE CROCK POT BEEF ENCHILADA CASSEROLE:Heat a large skillet of medium/high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until no longer pink making sure to crumble the beef into smaller pieces. Drain excess grease if you use a fattier beef. Lower the heat to medium and add the drained and rinsed black beans and the drained can of corn. Stir to combine.Add the garlic powder, onion powder, taco seasoning packet and 3/4 cup water. Stir to combine and allow to slightly thicken.

Stir to combine.Add the frozen hashbrowns and mix well.Add half of the enchilada mixture to the bottom of your crockpot.Add 1/3 of the shredded cheese evenly over the top.Add half of the tortilla pieces evenly over the top.Pour half of the enchilada sauce over the top.Repeat with the remaining half of enchilada mixture, 1/3 shredded cheese, the remaining half of the tortilla pieces and the rest of the enchilada sauce.
