Wednesdays Unplugged – Enchilada Style Ground Beef Burritos

“Life is the art of drawing without an eraser.” – John W Gardner

NOTE: I spend my Wednesdays Unplugged from appointments. It’s my day to stay home, enjoy cooking and welcome our kids and grandkids for dinner in the evening. We end our meal with quotes from the Norwegian ‘Quote Cup’ passed on to me from my grandmother. I share a quote and a recipe here each week, along with an update and photos of what has been going on in our lives. I love trying new recipes…and love getting recipes you would like to share!

We celebrated our daughter and her fiance’s birthday this week… their cake was Baskin Robbins clown cones! You can see by her smile that it was a fun night with a full house.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

She chose fettucine alfredo for her meal. I have shared it multiple times before so I just linked it to a previous post… it is really good. The recipe I am posting this week is a super simple one for ground beef burritos enchilada style.

ENCHILADA STYLE GROUND BEEF BURRITOS

• 1 1/3 pounds ground beef
• Salt and pepper
• 13.4 ounce jar salsa verde
• 2 ten ounce cans green enchilada sauce
• 6 10-inch flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 375 degrees, spray a lasagna pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Brown ground beef, drain excess grease if needed. Season with salt and pepper.

Mix salsa and enchilada sauce together and put a little into the bottom of the prepared lasagna pan.

Add about a cup of the sauce to the ground beef and mix.

Spoon 2/3 cup beef mixture into the center of each tortilla, add a handful of cheese, fold so the seal is on the bottom and arrange in the lasagna pan. Pour the rest of the sauce over the filled burritos and top with the remaining cheese.

Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until cheese is melted.
