Enchilada Casserole

This yummy casserole is something the whole family will enjoy! It's a big hit at potluck dinners as well! It is so easy and you can add just about anything you want to the burger mix! The more you add the more it feeds! For some reason every time you re-bake it, it gets hotter! I'm not sure why! The day you make it it's mild. Second bake is medium and 3rd bake is fire hot! I just serve this with a dollop of sour cream on top and a side salad!

Brown ground beef
Add salt, pepper and garlic salt to taste
Add in any optional ingredients as you wish! (onions, celery,olives etc.) it's all good!
Drain green chilies and remove seeds
Add in all canned ingredients
Simmer low heat for about 10 min.
In a 13 x 9 x 2 baking dish begin layering:
Tortillas (aprox 5-6 per layer-they will overlap)
Sauce
Tortillas
sauce
Tortillas
sauce on top
Place shredded cheese on top
Bake at 350 for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until it is bubbling
Remove from oven
Let rest about 30 minutes before serving
Will set up similar to lasagna
Cut and serve
Top each serving with a dollop of sour cream

Scattered across the ingredient list are three different condensed soups, which act here as a stable emulsifying starch rather than standalone broths, preventing the ground beef filling from separating into pools of grease during long baking cycles. Baking this assembly requires patience, specifically aiming for a total duration of 60 to 90 minutes inside a standard 350-degree oven. Visual inspection remains the primary gauge for doneness since proteins and starches react differently than simple doughs. Watch the edges of the 13x9-inch dish for aggressive bubbling where the sauce meets the ceramic, and look for the shredded cheese on top to transform into a deeply browned, spotty crust. Removing the pan immediately leads to structural collapse, so allow a resting period of exactly 30 minutes. This pause lets the starches retrograde, firming the internal slices so they hold together cleanly without sliding apart on the plate. Subsequent thermal processing alters the texture further, breaking down the complex starches into denser, more concentrated profiles over successive days.
