Day #10 Green Enchiladas

So we have been fighting this horrible cold that has been going around my house this last week which is partially why I have not posted in a few days, however, tonights menu is simple and delicious!  I love quick recipes when the family is sick or if we have company because it gives me the ability to spend more time with the family and not in the kitchen.  Don't get me wrong I love to cook and I love recipes that require a little extra time in the kitchen but when you're not feeling well, the quicker the better.  Here is what we are having tonight!

GROUND BEEF GREEN ENCHILADAS
2 lbs ground beef
1 lb shredded Monterrey jack cheese (Mexican mix works)
1 onion diced
Tortillas (flour or corn)
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp chili powder
1 28 oz can of green enchilada sauce (you can also use red)
Salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
1.      Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Brown ground beef in frying pan, once all completely brown season with garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
2.      Add diced onion to the browned ground beef.  Add ½ cup of green sauce, lower temperature and allow to simmer.
3.      In large baking dish spray with nonstick spray and add a small amount of green sauce to the bottom of the pan.  Prepare enchiladas by laying out a tortilla and add a spoonful of the meat/onion mix and roll it up.  Place as many enchiladas in the pan that can fit side by side.
4.      Top all the enchiladas with green sauce.
5.      Bake for about 20 minutes then add cheese to the top, bake for another 5-10 minutes or until cheese is completely melted.

ENJOY!
