I didn’t post these on my website for a long time because I didn’t realize there was a high request for enchilada recipes. I grew up with this…so, in my ignorance, I thought everyone had an enchilada recipe. But after experimenting with some other enchilada recipes, I realized the one I grew up with was pretty damn good. I made a couple of slight adjustments and now present you with “Easy Beef and Rice Enchiladas.”

I love this recipe. It’s really easy. Brown some beef, cook some rice, stuff it all in a tortilla. Well, it involves a couple more steps, but that’s the basics.

It also makes a big pan of over-stuffed enchiladas. I normally can only eat a half of one. Husband usually manages at least one. But the main point- there is leftovers…no cooking the next day! Yay!

If you’re not a Velveeta fan, sorry to break it to you- but it’s good in this recipe. It provides a creaminess that’s hard to get in other cheeses without making a cheese sauce. Give it a try.
