Crock Pot Recipe

I just have to share this delicious recipe.  I made it this past weekend and my god was it so good.  Even my picky daughter ate it.  I don't know about everyone else but I LOVE the crock pot.  Throw it all in and let it do its thing.   Here is the recipe:

• 2 lbs ground beef lowest fat
• 1medium yellow onion chopped (about a cup)
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
•  salt to taste (start with ½ tsp)
• pepper to taste (start with ½  tsp)
• 6-8 corn tortillas ( i used yellow)
• 8oz can of corn, drained
• 1(19 ounce) can enchilada sauce
• Cheddar Cheese a lot at least 4 cups
• 1 small can sliced olives, drained
• 1 small can black beans, drained
• 1 small can tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• Garlic powder 1tsp
• Onion Powder 1tsp
• Cumin 1/2 tsp
• Mexican Oregon (if you don’t have that reg oregano is fine)  - if you used dry oregano leaves 1 tsp. if you use ground oregano 1/2 tsp
• 2 tsp olive oil

Turn crock pot on high.  Heat oil in a skillet.  Add the oinon and saute until soft.  Add the corn, black and olives.  Stir for 1-2 mins. Add the garlic and stir for about 1 minute.  Add the beef,  brown and drain most of the fat..  Add salt and pepper, and the rest of the seasoning mix well.  Add tomatoe paste and 1 cup of enchilada sauce.  Mix well.  Tear 2 tortillas in half and cover the bottom of the crock pot, taste some enchilada sauce and coat the tortillas. Add a layer of beef, topped with cheese.  Repeat the layers.  You want to end with tortillas on top.  Cover the top layer of tortillas with sauce and cheese.  Cover and cook for 2 hours.   Serve immediately.

I served it with this cilantro rice   SO good.  use basmati rice for the recipe!

Now I want more.   lol

That sounds GOOD! I'll have to try it. I love my 3 Crock-Pots, and use them a lot. They make the best meat.

I love mine too!! This is ddelicious!! Everyone loved it!

@sweetdz99  I'm vegetarian, so can't try your recipe, but I love my crockpot too.  In fact, I just had to replace my old one when the lid broke, and I didn't realize how much I used it till I didn't have one.

Actually you could if you used Boca meatless crumbles. I think that adding them towards the end of the cooking time might be better as a long cooking time might turn them to mush. Here's a review of them:

You can replace the meat with tofu or even mushroom!  Mushrooms have a nice meaty texture.  Or mushroom, zuccini, tofu mixture!

Good suggestion... unfortunately, I'm actually not fond of the faux ground rounds,    however...
