Enchilada Pie

Here's another recipe from the "Holy Redeemer's Mothers' Club Kitchen Kapers". This specific recipe was submitted by Mrs. Charles Redmond. I just added a few more seasonings to the meat sauce, which I've noted with asterisks.

1 medium onion, diced
1 lb ground beef
1 Tablespoon chili powder
1 Tablespoon oregano*
1 teaspoon salt

1 clove garlic, minced*
1 4.5 oz can chopped olives
1 8 oz can tomato sauce

Preheat oven to 400º.

Add olive oil to a hot skillet. Add onion and saute for about a minute. Add beef and cook until the bright pink color is gone.

Add the spices, olives and tomato sauce.

In an 8x8 baking dish, line the bottom with tortillas, followed by a layer of meat sauce and cheese. Repeat ending with a layer of cheese. Pour water at an edge into the bottom of the casserole.

Bake for 30 minutes.
