Kathy’s Layered Enchilada Pie

My MAJEK group of friends have been exchanging recipes during COVID.  This is one that Kathy shared.  It is pretty simple, and very tasty.  

• My adaptations: I used a package Impossible Burger to eat lower on the food chain.  
• 2-4 T taco seasoning
• I used a 10" pie plate or 8 x 11 casserole dish
• After baking for 20 minutes, topped with more cheese, then returned to oven uncovered for another 5-10 minutes until bubbly.

1 lb ground beef                                

1 onion small size

1 can tomato sauce 8 oz or 14oz can of diced tomatoes

sliced black olives....sm can may be enough

1-1/2 cup cheddar cheese or more

3/4 cup water

Your favorite Mexican seasoning (Lawrys Taco is good or chili pwd….I used Penzeys Bold Taco) probably a tablespoon or more

6 corn tortillas...butter these

Brown meat and onion....drain.....then add tomato sauce and olives plus seasoning along with some salt and pepper.    

Layer the tortillas, meat, and cheese.  I end with tortillas on top.  Add water around sides.  Bake at 400* covered for 20-30 minutes.  

Serves 4-6 depending on how hungry you are.

You can have toppings like sour cream, cilantro, etc.
