Enchilada casserole

Enchilada sauce
   2 tablespoons shortening
   3 tablespoons flour
   3 cups water
   2- 8 oz. cans tomato sauce
   1/3 cup chili powder
directions
Melt the shortening in a stock pot. Whisk in the flour. quickly whisk in the water. Mix in the tomato sauce. sprinkle with garlic salt. Mix in chili powder. Bring to a boil.
Other ingredients
   1 -2 pound ground beef
    8-16 oz chedder cheese
    flour or wheat tortillas
Now it depends on how big your family is as to how big you choose to make it. If you have a larger family, use a 9x13 cake pan. If you have a smaller family us a 8x11 pan. Greese the pan with Pam. Cut the tortilla so they lay flat in the pan. Dip the tortilla in the Enchillada sauce so that both sides are well coated. Lay them in the bottom of the pan. Layer with half the hambugar, 3-5 oz cheese. Repeat the next step with another layer of tortillas diped in the sauces followed by another layer of cheese. Put another layer of dipped torillas topped with another layer ground beef and cheese. I would use 1 pound of ground beef for the 8x11 pan and 2 pounds of ground beef for the 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. Serve with Mexican Rice or Cooked pinto beans. I sometimes use both. Enjoy.
