Easy Enchilada Casserole


I’m sure there are many versions of this recipe out there in the “www” for this dish; in fact Bubba himself has a great recipe for it; but, this time I wanted a biting amalgamation of ingredients. 





This enchilada casserole includes a good dose of chili powder and cayenne pepper added to the meat for that spicy Mexican flavor; the velvety texture of black beans and plenty of melted cheese to top it off. 

If you like enchiladas but aren’t thrilled with making your own, my easy one-dish casserole would make a great meal for your family and friends.  There is definitely enough to feed several people!
