I think this might actually be my Grandmother Pearl’s recipe that my Mom used to make for us. It was one of my absolute favorite and still is. Sometimes, I will use ground turkey, or I’ll buy a roasted chicken and cut it up and add that instead of the hamburger. Leftover Thanksgiving turkey is also great in this recipe.
1 lb. lean hamburger
1 chopped onion
1 green pepper, chopped
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can enchilada soup
½ cup milk
cornmeal tortillas
8 oz. cheese, (monterey jack, cheddar or colby)
Brown meat with onion, and drain fat. Add soups, enchilada sauce, milk, and green pepper. Mix and heat through. Put in a large (9 x 13″) casserole dish in layers: first, a meat layer, then tortillas, torn in quarters, then cheese, continuing, and finishing with cheese on top. Bake at 350 for 1 hour, or until heated through with cheese melted. Cover with foil and let set 5 – 10 minutes before serving.
