Cheesy Beef Enchiladas

I tried this recipe from Julia Pacheco and it was so good!

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 20 ounces red enchilada sauce
• 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
• 12 corn tortillas

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brown ground beef and drain any excess grease. Return to pan. Add the seasonings, 3/4 of one of cans of enchilada sauce, and 1/2 cup of cheese. Stir to combine and let the cheese melt into the mixture. 

Spray a 13x9 baking dish with nonstick spray. Pour remaining 1/4 can of enchilada sauce into dish and spread around bottom of pan. 

Wrap tortillas in a wet paper towel and microwave for about a minute, until they are soft. 

Spoon meat mixture into the tortilla and fold it around the mixture. Place seam side down into baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas. 

Pour the whole second can of enchilada sauce over the rolled enchiladas. Top with remaining cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Steak Sandwiches (Steak Escape Style)

• 6 Bolillo buns, split (any firm bread will work)
• 12 ounces thin-sliced, deli-style roast beef
• 6 slices Provolone cheese
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 1 can mushrooms, drained
• 1 tablespoon butter or oil
• Montreal steak seasoning
• lettuce, sliced tomato, mayonnaise

1. Warm butter or oil in medium skillet. Saute onions until soft. Sprinkle with small amount of Montreal steak seasoning. Add mushrooms and warm together. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. 
2. Place 2 ounces of roast beef in skillet on one side. Let first side warm up and slightly brown. Meanwhile, place bread, cut side down, in skillet to warm. 
3. Turn beef and sprinkle with Montreal steak seasoning. Top with serving of onions & mushrooms and a slice of cheese. Warm until cheese is melted.
4. Remove bread from skillet and spread one piece with mayonnaise and top with lettuce and tomato. Place roast beef on other piece of bread. Serve with homemade fries sprinkled with seasoned salt.

Cook's notes: I add a small amount of water to my onions and allow it to evaporate to help my onions soften. I have used both prepackaged roast beef and deli roast beef. I like the fresh cut roast beef better and have it cut a little thicker so that I can tear into bite-sized pieces (like Steak Escape), following above directions.
