BEEF ENCHILADA SKILLET RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Beef Enchilada Skillet Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by á-11135

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 (15.5-ounce) can red or black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (10-ounce) can red enchilada sauce
1 cup salsa
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 1/2 to 2 cups chicken broth
8 ounces pasta
4 ounces Colby jack cheese, shredded
1 green onion, sliced

Steps:

  • Brown ground beef in a 10-inch skillet. Drain the beef and add in the onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add in the garlic, taco seasoning, chili powder, salsa, enchilada sauce, whipping cream and 1 cup broth. Stir well and add the pasta, again stir and then add in the beans. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring often, covered for 20 minutes or until pasta is cooked. You will need to add more broth as you go and the pasta absorbs the liquid. Once the pasta is done, top with the cheese, cover and remove from heat. Allow the cheese to melt and top with the sliced green onion.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet: This will ensure that you have enough room to cook all of the ingredients without overcrowding the pan.
  • Brown the beef and vegetables before adding the sauce: This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming dry.
  • Use a flavorful enchilada sauce: There are many different types of enchilada sauces available, so choose one that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Don't overfill the tortillas: If you overfill them, they will be difficult to roll and will likely fall apart.
  • Top the enchiladas with cheese and bake until melted: This will help to hold the enchiladas together and give them a delicious golden brown crust.

Conclusion:

Skillet enchiladas are a quick and easy meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family. They are perfect for busy weeknights or for casual gatherings with friends. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that everyone will love.
