BEEF
ENCHILADAS


Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 (1.5 ounce) package dry enchilada sauce mix
10 (10 inch) flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (2.25 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a medium skillet over medium high heat, cook the ground beef and onion until beef is evenly browned and onion is tender.
Prepare the enchilada sauce according to package directions. Pour 1/4 cup of the sauce into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
On each flour tortilla, place an equal portion of the ground beef mixture and about 1 ounce of Cheddar cheese, reserving at least 1/2 cup of cheese. Then tightly roll the tortillas and place seam side down in the baking dish.
Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the enchiladas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese and olives.
Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and cheese is thoroughly melted.

THRIFTY THURSDAY

I call this "Morning Mix" it is another name for corn flakes, o's of oats, cinnamon flavored squares, and a few granola clusters all dumped into a large glass jar when the boxes are close to empty. Of course, you can use whatever dry cereals you have. Just keep a jar going all the time, in the same cupboard where you keep you boxed cereal and then add to it whenever you get close to finishing the box or bag of cereal. When the jar starts to get full, you can eat this custom mix instead of opening a new package. Also good to put on top of you yogart.

Enjoy

Cheers
