Easy Layered Beef Enchilada Casserole

easy simple cheap budget friendly Beef-Enchilada-Casserole dinner recipe  a dash of casual blog and boutique shop online or in store

Do you need to feed a small crowd of people? This is your recipe!  It’s the perfect dish for a potluck meal or a family dinner. Made with layers of ground beef, tortillas, a creamy enchilada sauce mixture, and cheese, this easy layered beef enchilada casserole recipe is just the ticket.  

We hosted a small group at our house the other night, and I made this casserole dish.  It fed everybody and some people even went back for seconds.

Another great thing about this enchilada recipe is that it can be made ahead of time.  I cooked the meat and assembled the casserole the night before.  On the day of the small group meeting at our house, I just popped it in the oven right before the guests arrived.  

In addition, I made no-soak pinto beans in the Instant Pot to go with this casserole and they were delicious!  If you saw my Instant Pot Beef Tips post, then you know that I left my Instant Pot in a box for a year because I was intimidated by it!  Now I use it weekly.  In fact, I am about to cook a whole chicken in it today and will share how I do that.  But you can go from dry beans to perfect and flavorful pinto beans in about an hour!
