YUM: Betty Crocker's Beef Enchiladas

I was craving some cheesy Mexican, so I whipped up these easy beef enchiladas from the Betty Crocker Cookbook. They're a great leftover food, tasting just as good on night two.

Betty Crocker's Beef Enchiladas

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)

½ cup sour cream

1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

1/4 tsp ground pepper

1/3 cup green bell pepper, chopped

2/3 cup water

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves

1/4 tsp ground cumin

4.5 oz can diced green chiles

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

1 15 oz cab tomato sauce

8 tortillas (5-6" in diameter)

Directions

1. HEAT oven to 350.

2. COOK beef in 10-inch skillet over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until brown; drain. STIR in onion, sour cream, 1 cup cheese, the parsley, and pepper. COVER and REMOVE from heat.

3. HEAT bell pepper, water, chili powder, oregano, cumin, (chilies), garlic, and tomato sauce to boiling in 2-qt saucepan, stirring occasionally; REDUCE heat. SIMMER uncovered 5 minutes. POUR into ungreased pie plate, 9 x 1 ¼ inches.
