Enchilada Casserole

I made this tonight, and will admit is a regular on our dinner menu. This is partially my own recipe. I altered/changed a similar one I found in a magazine and changed it to fit our tastes and preferences.
Enchilada Casserole, serves 41 lb ground beef (we use 94% lean ground turkey)
1/4 c chopped onion
8 oz tomato sauce
1/3 c picante sauce (can use salsa)
1/4 c water
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1/3 c frozen or canned corn
1 c fat free shredded cheddar cheese
flour or corn tortillas cut into quarters
Black beans and Sour Cream are optional

Brown meat and onion. Add tomato sauce, salsa/picante sauce, chili powder, and water (and corn if desired). Cook on low-medium heat for 5-10 minutes or until thickened.

This is what the meat looks like before you layer it.

In 4 medium ceramic pyrex dishes layer flour/corn tortilla to completely cover the bottom. (It usually takes our pyrex 1/2 flour tortilla or 3/4 of a corn tortilla) Top with 1/4 C meat mixture, 1/4 c cheese. (Add a handful of black beans if desired). Cover with another layer to tortillas, 1/4 C meat mixture and 1/4 c cheese. Repeat once more.

Cover with foil and bake in a 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until heated through. Top with sour cream if desired. (It is also good topped with fresh diced tomatoes and crushed tortilla chips too)

We both gave this 4 stars. We usually serve it right out of the pyrex dishes (I make one for each of us) but I took it out this time so I could snap a picture. We both felt it stayed much hotter when we ate it from the pyrex! Something to consider if/when you make it! I also serve this with our "poor man's version" of Spanish Rice (brown rice and chili powder).

WW points: 9.5 - 10 pts per seving. The meat mixture w/corn should 16.5 points for the entire batch. (4 points per serving). The Fat Free cheese should add 3 points per serving. If using flour shells, we use 1.5 shells per person (3 pts) or 2.5 shells if using corn (2.5 points). You could easily cut down the points by not adding as much cheese. I also typically add black beans and then don't use/need as much of the meat too. ~Tracy
