Dutch Oven Enchilada Recipes

Like I've said before, you can cook almost anything in a Dutch oven.  Here are two variations on an enchilada casserole that are easy and will give you an opportunity to try out some Mexican fare in the Dutch oven.  They will be popular at your next cookout.

Enchilada Casserole

1 large onion chopped
2 lbs ground beef
1 10 oz can tomato soup
2 10 oz cans enchilada sauce
12 oz grated cheese
8 flour tortillas
1 cup sour cream

Cook ground beef and onion in the Dutch oven, then remove and place in a large bowl.  Stir soup and enchilada sauce into the ground beef mixture.  Spoon a 1/4" layer of meat mixture in the Dutch oven.  Cover with a layer of tortillas (tear to cover).  Cover the tortillas with grated cheese.  Repeat layers of meat mixture, tortillas and cheese until all of the mixture is used up.  Top with cheese.  Put the lid on the oven and place 15 briquets on the lid.  Bake for 35-40 minutes or until mixture is bubbling and heated through.  Serve with sour cream.
