Enchilada Casserole

This has been one of Nick and I's favorite easy meals to cook....well I cook it and we both eat it :) Austin loves to help with preparing this meal because he gets to tear the tortillas in small pieces and be my helper. Here is the recipe and some pictures from last week when we made it.

Enchilada Casserole:
1 lb. ground beef
1 med. onion, diced
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
1 (10oz.) can enchilada sauce
1 small can of diced green chili peppers (optional)
1 c. milk
1/2 lb Velvetta cheese
1 pkg. soft flour tortillas

Brown ground beef with onion and drain. Mix soups, milk, enchilada sauce and green peppers (we eliminate the peppers) and add to the ground beef mixture. Spray 13X9 inch pan with non-stick cooking spray. Line pan with tortillas, torn in slices. Cover with sauce and top with cheese. Repeat. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. I remove the foil after baking for 15 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.

This looks easy enough. I'll have to try it. I especially like your cute little helper. Also, I heard you make an awesome pumpkin roll. I love all things pumpkin so I would love the recipe.

Just wanted you to know I made this and the family loved it. We used the green chiles and subtracted the onions, and now that I am looking at the recipe, I might have forgotten the milk but it still turned out very tasty. Thanks for the recipe.
