While we love love love my Mom’s Chicken Enchiladas, long ago I found a beef recipe that my family loves.  These Beef Enchiladas are simple to make but taste great.  They can be made ahead and kept in the refrigerator until dinner time and put in the oven.

Easy Homemade Beef Enchiladas - a yummy main dish recipe that your whole family will love

You don’t need much to make these and they are one of Josh’s favorites.  I need to remember to make them more often for my family! They take a few more steps than my Cheater Beef Enchiladas but I think they are well worth the effort.

  3. Spoon beef into corn tortillas. Add cheese. Roll up. Place seams down. Then add remaining red sauce. Top with more cheese. Bake at 325 for 45 mins or until cheese is bubbly.
Notes
I serve this with sour cream on the side.
I prepared these enchiladas for dinner recently and paired my all time favorite stick of butter rice with them.  While normally the rice goes along with pot roast or a hearty all American meal, serving it with enchiladas was a nice change.  Yum!

  1. These look so yummy, but I have a question: my doctor has me on a no-sugar-added diet, have you tried this without the sugar? Do they need sweetness? Thanks so much for such a wonderfully helpful and beautiful blog site.

  3. This recipe looks delish! I can’t wait to try it!

    The last couple of weeks, when I receive your daily emails the emails look like this:
    __construct, get_option ) [2] => Array ( [0] => SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ‘akismet_comment_nonce’ LIMIT 1 [1] => 8.60691070557E-5 [2] => require(‘wp-blog-header.
    and it goes on and on.

    I just thought, I would let you know.

    Thanks!
