Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Brown the hamburger, drain off fat. Add the onion, minced garlic, salsa and tomatoes. I can my own tomatoes but you can really use any tomato you want as long as you can kind of mash it up. Sprinkle and mix in the enchilada sauce mix. Let this simmer for 20 minutes for until this thickens up a bit. Season to taste.
- Spray with non stick cooking spray an 11 x 7 (if you want thick layers) or a 9X13 (if you want thinner layers - more tortillas). Cut the tortillas up to cover the bottom of the baking dish. Layer the meat mixture, layer of cheese and then a layer of tortillas, meat, layer tortillas and then top with cheese to cover up the tortillas.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and cook for another 10 min or until cheese melts and browns up just a bit.

ENCHILADA STACK UP CASSEROLE
Steps:
- Brown hamburger and onion. Drain; stir in tomato sauce, chilies, chili powder, salt and pepper, Tabasco, chili beans and black olives. Spray a 9x13-inch pan with PAM. Layer meat, tortillas, cheese. Repeat until finished. Pour tomato sauce mixed with equal part of water around the edges. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 45 minutes. * Can substitute 2 c. tomato juice for 8 oz. tomato sauce.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe tomatoes. If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well before using.
- To make the enchilada sauce, you can use a blender or a food processor. If you're using a blender, be sure to blend the sauce until it's smooth.
- If you don't have corn tortillas, you can use flour tortillas. However, corn tortillas are the traditional choice for enchiladas.
- Be sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking the casserole. This will help to ensure that the casserole cooks evenly.
- To prevent the casserole from sticking to the pan, grease the pan with cooking spray or butter before adding the casserole.
- If you're using a glass baking dish, be sure to place it on a baking sheet before putting it in the oven. This will help to prevent the glass from cracking.
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help to prevent the casserole from falling apart.
