Clinton's Favorite Chinchillas

No, it's not really Chinchillas, it's Enchiladas (haven't you people ever seen Super Troopers!?). Even though this is Clinton's favorite dish I make, Lucas really likes them, too. They take a while to make, but the great thing is the versatility and simple ingredients! Plus, leftovers heat up FANTASTIC! Serves 4 to 6 adults.

The Recipe

1. Brown Ground Beef, drain.

Tightly arrange rolled Enchiladas in baking dish, until full (or your Hamburger Helper runs out, whichever comes first), reserving some cheese.

8. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes
9. Sprinkle with remaining cheese, bake additional 15 minutes or until cheese is brown and bubbly.
10. Serve hot with sour cream

NOTE: Can also be prepared in the Crock Pot! Instead of placing ingredients into a baking dish, put it in the crock pot. Cook for 2 to 3 hours on low.
