Slow Cooker Ground Beef Enchiladas

 

Mexican food seems to be my forte.  I do love it.  These ground beef enchiladas, were better than any I’ve ever made before.  They were soooo good!  Unfortunately for me, I had a mom’s night out, at a Mexican Restaurant the night we had them, so I skipped getting them as a meal.  I did have to sneak a taste before I left though.  After eating out at the restaurant, and ordering something that I actually wasn’t crazy about, I was wishing that I had just eaten at home.  My enchiladas were better than the fajita quesadilla I had ordered.

 

OK, so normally I don’t toot my own horn.   I know everyone’s tastes are different, when it comes to Mexican food, but our family really did love these!  They have an amazing cheesy sauce that is both inside and on top.  I have a feeling your family will love them, too!

 

OK, so are you ready for the recipe?  I thought so!

Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 3 pounds ground beef
  • 1 bunch green onions
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 envelope taco seasoning
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 2 10.75 oz cans condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 20 small size corn tortillas

Instructions

  • Brown ground beef with green onion in skillet.
  • Drain grease.
  • Add packet of taco seasoning with 1/2 cup of water.  Cook until all water is cooked off.
  • Mix together condensed soup, sour cream and cheese.
  • Start spooning meat mixture into each corn tortilla and topping it with a small amount of the soup/cheese mixture.
  • Be sure to reserve some of the cheese mixture for the top, too.
  • Roll them carefully, trying not to crack them.
  • Place them in a slow cooker or baking dish and spoon the remaining cheese mixture on top.
  • Cook on low for 5-6 hours, or just bake them for 30-45 minutes in the oven.

Freezer to Slow Cooker Instructions:

  • I ended up doing steps 1-7 and then placing them all on a cookie sheet.  I covered the cookie sheet and placed in the freezer.  I had planned to then remove them from the cookie sheet and place them in a freezer bag, but.... I ended up having them the next day anyway, so I didn't have to do that.  Either way is an option.  Place the remaining cheese mixture in a freezer bag and mark it, placing it on top of the enchiladas so they don't get separated from each other.
  • Now, hopefully you won't do what I did.  I had forgotten to defrost them at all.  It's not a huge deal, but...it made it harder to get my slow cooker lid shut since they were too stiff to really form to the pot.  I ended up leaving it up a little, knowing that when they thawed a little, they lid would go down all the way.  I then put the frozen cheese mixture on top and figured it would be OK.  Well....it's OK if you actually turn it on, and don't leave it on Keep Warm all afternoon.  I came home after a few hours expecting to smell a yummy smell and discovered that I had just barely thawed them.  So....into the oven they went.  Either way, they'll be good.  If you put them in the slow cooker, be sure to layer the cheese sauce over each layer of enchiladas.  You'll use a large pot, they'll be stacked, but they'll still come out good.  Enjoy!

Notes

This makes enough for 8 adults.

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
