Made this last night. I thought it was very good, but I added seasonings to the beef (garlic power, onion power, chili powder, paprika, oregano, red pepper flakes, garlic salt, and a little enchilada sauce (suggestion by another cook)). I didn't make my own enchilada sauce, I used Jose's Enchilada sauce (I think)...it was really good. I can't give it 5 stars b/c of the seasoning I did. My fiance loved it. He even ate it for breakfast this morning. I would definitely recommend this to anyone and I will for sure make it again.

This was sooooooo good! I did make a couple of changes to it according to what I had on hand. I used 1 lb beef, mixed in some wild rice and added 2 tsp crushed garlic, instead of the garlic salt, 1 4.5 oz can of chopped green chiles, a pinch of cayenne pepper, 1/2 packet of burrito seasoning (added while cooking the meat and onions) mixed all together with half a can of red enchilada sauce. We also used twice as much cheese (we love cheese). I served it similar to rolled tacos, with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and onions with a little chuky salsa on the side. Turned out GREAT! I don't remember ever having enchiladas that tasted so good. We will definately be making this again.

I didn't have Taco seasoning so I kept adding garlic salt, season salt, and pepper to the meat to taste before baking. These enchiladas turned out wonderful. Definitely a keeper.

Not really sure what was off but these were not a big hit with my family. I used the red enchilada sauce recipe on here. Since I am not sure it if is the sauce or the enchiladas that went wrong I am going to have to make them separately and see.

This recipe was an excellent "guide" but that is about it... it would have been sooo bland if I had followed it! I used taco seasoning as some others suggested and I made the Red Enchilada Sauce from this website rather than the canned stuff. Also used the "Nacho" blend of grated cheese... very yummy.

I've only tried making enchiladas twice. The first time was such a dismal failure that it has been quite a while since I tried it. The first recipe I tried was one with cream cheese and chicken soup, it was so rich we could barely eat it and it went to waste. For this recipe I took the suggestion of some other reviews and added taco seasoning to the meat, it worked very well and is a must I think! I didn't bother heating up the tortilla shells in oil because I bought the big gordita ones, they were fresh and didn't crack so it worked well for me. I didn't make my own enchilada sauce, I used La Victoria and it turned out just wonderful. One other thing, I halfed the recipe and it made 6 big enchiladas that filled a 13 X 9, if you make the whole recipe you're cooking for an army! Oh, don't forget the sour cream, YUM! Thanks for the wonderful recipe!

I like this recipe and have made it several times. The only thing that I do differently, is cook the ground beef mixture in taco seasoning. I think this gives the filling a ton more flavor. Thanks for the recipe.

Very good recipe! I love this recipe because it is a very quick and easy way to make enchiladas. And it is a plus that it doesn't require an extravagant amount of ingredients. I thought it was very good and I added olives on top and mixed taco seasoning in with the meat when I cooked it. I would recommend this recipe to all of my friends!

Great recipe. I added a few other things: in my ground beef, I put only one package of taco seasoning and also a can of enchilada sauce. I also added some cooked white rice in each burrito. I used low carb tortillas, they are so soft that I didn't need to heat them in oil.

With just a couple of modifications, this recipe was amazing! In fact, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this as I am not fan of ground beef in any type of mexican food. Use Hatch Brand Enchilada Sauce, it will make a huge difference! I used flash fried corn tortillas in place of the flour tortillas, added a couple of cloves of minced fresh garlic to the meat while it was cooking, added a couple of handfuls of sharp white cheddar to the meat and poured a little enchilada sauce into the drained meat, and topped with sharp cheddar, and a monterrey jack/cheddar mix. We served with dollops of sour cream and fresh chopped roma tomatoes. Wow! This is a new family favorite.

I made some changes to this recipe and we liked it! I halved the recipe, using only 1 lb. of ground beef and 6 large flour tortillas and 1/2 can enchilada sauce. I also used taco seasoning for the ground beef as mentioned in previous reviews. I still used 8 oz. cheese. Simple, quick and a crowd pleaser!

I followed suggestions from others and seasoned the ground beef. I did not care for the brand of canned enchilada sauce i used so next time i will make from scratch. Tasty and simple to make!

I made this recipe as is and it is mediocre at best. I will try some of the suggestions but I don't know how much good it will do. Blah.

I used one lb of beef and 1/2 lb of sausage. It helps flavor it a little bit. I used the ten minute enchilada sauce from the site for it.

For these I halved the recipe and used about 2/3lb. ground turkey and threw in a 14oz can of black beans. I also added a tablespoon of chili powder and they turned out great. Next time I might try and make my own enchilada sauce, I wasn't completly satisfied with the brand I chose.
