• 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 (11.5-ounce) can condensed tomato soup

Cooking In A Dutch Oven

Heat a 12-inch Dutch oven over 9 hot coals. Brown meat and onion. Pour off drippings. Add soup, enchilada sauce and water and simmer 5 minutes. Spoon 2.3 of this mixture into a medium bowl, leaving remaining 1.3 in the Dutch oven.

Arrange 2 to 3 tortillas over the meat mixture and sprinkle with 1/3 of the cheese. Layer with half of the remaining meat mixture and 1/3 of the cheese; repeat. Cover with Dutch oven lid and place 12 to 15 hot coals on top. Cook, covered, 10 to 15 minutes, or until cheese melts and tortillas soften. Serves 6 to 8.

Cooking At Home

In a 9 x 13-inch dish, layer 1/3 of the meat mixture, then 2 or 3 tortillas, and 1/3 of the cheese; repeat with remaining ingredients. Cook, covered, 10 to 15 minutes, or until cheese melts and tortillas soften. Serves 6 to 8.
