Enchilada Beef - easy peasy MICROWAVE recipe!!

Dinner in a flash, literally! You microwave everything in this meal. It's done in minutes with no sink full of dirty dishes! Not a fancy dish by any means but quick and definitely a kid pleaser.



Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef or turkey
1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
1 can (4 oz) chopped green chilies, drained
3-4 T enchilada sauce (any)
2 cups shredded Monterrey jack cheese (I've used cheddar also)
about 1 cup coarsely crushed Frito's corn chips
Additional chips, optional

Directions:
Crumble beef in a microwave-safe dish. Cover and cook on high 4-6 minutes or until beef is no longer pink. Stirring once; drain. Stir in tomato sauce, green chilies and enchilada sauce. Spread half of beef mixture in a 2 qt microwave safe dish; sprinkle with 1 cup cheese. Top with remaining beef mixture. Cover; microwave for 2-3 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle w/ crushed chips and remaining cheese. Microwave 1 min longer or until cheese is melted. Serve with additional corn chips, if desired.
