This dish is another one my Mamaw used to throw together when all of us would get together for a little eating, a little chips and dips and a little visiting.  It was also a regular on her Friday night card playing menu.  Lots of mean games of Phase 10 or Hand & Foot were played to the tune of these beefy layered enchiladas.

It still shows up on my family’s table whenever we need a fun dish to round out a little chips and salsa or 7 layer dip on a weekend night! The rich sauce and beefy layers are the perfect pair when you’re wanting to have a little fiesta of your own.

Serve it with a happy dollop of sour cream, a little shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and jalapenos.  Cilantro is even good!  Of course, it is best served with a side of your closest family and friends.  Card playing is optional.
