Recipe Summary Creamy Beef Enchiladas

I made this up because I love cream cheese.

Ingredients | Ground Beef Enchilada Casserole

1 ½ pounds ground beef

1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix

½ cup chopped sweet onion

4 green onions, or to taste, chopped

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1 cup chunky salsa

12 corn tortillas

1 cup shredded pepperjack cheese, divided

2 ½ cups enchilada sauce

4 ounces sliced black olives

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir taco seasoning mix into the beef; transfer to a large bowl, reserving drippings in the skillet.

Cook and stir sweet onion and green onion in the hot drippings until tender, 5 to 7 minutes; add to seasoned ground beef along with cream cheese and salsa. Stir the mixture until the cream cheese melts completely.

Arrange tortillas onto a flat work surface. Spoon even amounts of the beef mixture in a line down the center of each tortilla. Top beef with even portions of the pepperjack cheese. Roll tortillas around the filling and arrange into a baking dish. Pour enchilada sauce evenly over the tortillas; top with olives and remaining cheese.

Bake in preheated oven until cheese melts completely, about 20 minutes.

You could sneak in chopped fresh spinach.
