Thank you for your comment! We love it too 😊
Yummy!!! 🙌
Looks good, but isn’t using ground turkey better for you? 🤔 Just sayin’…
I tried this recipe last night, and it was super easy! My kids loved it too! Thanks for sharing! 😊
I ain’t no chef, but these are easy to make!
For real! I’m not good in the kitchen but I nailed these! They were delish!
Why do you put onions? They ruin everything! Wish I skipped that part.
Really simple but way too greasy for my liking. Maybe I didn’t drain the beef enough? Not doing this again.
Simple and quick! But why is it called enchiladas if it’s beef?
I don’t get what the hype is about. Mine turned out kinda soggy. Maybe I did something wrong?
I think the sogginess might be from too much sauce or not cooking them long enough. Try baking them a bit longer next time, and maybe use less sauce!
Soggy? That ain’t right. You sure you followed the steps? My enchiladas came out great!
Best recipe ever! Made it so quick and the cheese was perfect! 🧀❤️
This was confusing to me. How much sauce to use??
I suggest using the whole can of sauce for a nice flavor! It really brings everything together.
Quick tip: I added some jalapeños for an extra kick! Yummy!
Meh. I think taco bell is better than this.
Too much cheese for my taste… I couldn’t even finish them. 😞
Easy to make but the flavor was just okay. Not sure I’d make them again.
I totally agree! They were pretty bland for me too. Maybe add some spices next time?
I think they were great! Sometimes you gotta adjust the spices to your taste.
I don’t think you should add red sauce like that, it changes the taste. Prefer green sauce myself.
I really think this is not authentic enchiladas… should use corn tortillas instead.
Cheese, beef, tortillas, what else do ya need? Love em!
Right?! These are the best! Perfect for taco night!
Just made these! They taste like heaven! 🌮✨
These turned out amazing! So cheesy and flavorful. Will definitely make again!
My kids didn’t even notice the onions! Sneaky, sneaky. Will make again.
Super easy! Even my kids loved them. Dinner win!
Just made these. Didn’t have any cheese, so I used ranch dressing instead. Not bad!
Y u no use chicken? Chicken is way better than beef. Just sayin’.
Yummy! I added some jalapeños and they turned out amazing.
Does anyone have tips on making this vegan? I wanna try without the beef and cheese.
You can totally replace the beef with lentils or black beans! For cheese, use a vegan cheese substitute. It’ll still taste amazing!
These enchiladas were so good! My family loved them, and they were super easy to make!
I’m so glad to hear that! We’ve made them too and they’re always a hit. Did you add anything special?
Really? They seemed kinda basic to me. I think I’d add some spices for flavor next time.
I love this recipe! Will definitely make again!!
I used turkey instead of beef, was still good.
These were super easy to make and tasted great! My kids loved them!
I’m so glad your kids loved them! These enchiladas are a hit in our house too. Easy and delicious!
I dunno, they seem too simple. I like my enchiladas with more spices. But good on ya for making them!
I’ve never cooked before but managed to make these without burning the house down! LOL. Great recipe!
That’s awesome! Enchiladas are a great starting dish! Kudos to you for cooking!
LOL you didn’t burn the house down, that’s a win! But aren’t enchiladas a bit tricky for beginners?
I followed the recipe but they came out kinda dry. I think I overcooked them?
I was a bit skeptical about using ground beef, but wow! This recipe is a keeper!
I was skeptical at first, but they actually taste pretty good! Not bad for a quick dinner.
I dunno, I always thought enchiladas needed more spices or something. What’s the secret here?
Glad to hear you liked them! I was worried about them being too bland, but I might give it a try now.
Wait, how can you put onions in this? Whole family hates onions… Now what am I gonna do?
These are the best! But you should add more sauce, like a gallon.
easy and delicious! Quick weeknight dinner option. 😋
I dunno, mine came out kind of mushy. Maybe I overcooked them? 😕
So much cheese! Can you make it with less cheese next time?
These enchiladas were a hit at my family dinner! So easy to make and taste delicious. Definitely making again.
Enchiladas are overrated. Just eat tacos instead!
YUM!!! This was soooo good! We added some jalapenos for a kick and it turned out fantastic!
Okay but is it really that easy? I thought enchiladas were complicated. I’m skeptical.
Can anyone explain why you cook the beef first? Seems like a waste of time if it cooks in the oven anyway.
Cooking the beef first helps to get rid of excess fat and gives it a nice flavor. Trust me, it’s worth the time!
These enchiladas were fantastic! So easy to make and my family loved them.
I dunno… beef and cheese? Sounds kinda heavy. Maybe better with chicken?
I made these last night and they turned out great! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Yum! I added some black beans and corn for extra flavor. This will be a staple for us!
