Texas Style Enchilada Casserole

                                             Makes 6 servings                                                                             Bake for about 25 to 30 min at 400 degrees

1 pound ground turkey or chuck

½  medium onion, chopped

1( 4 oz.) can diced green chiles

12 (6”) corn tortillas, cut into 1” pieces

1(10 3/4 oz.) can cream of mushroom soup

1   (2 ¼ oz) can sliced ripe black olives

1 cup mild enchilada sauce

½ cup sour cream

1 (8oz) block sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded and divided

Toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomato, avocado, finely chopped red onion

Cook first 3 ingredients in a large skillet over medium high heat, stirring until meat mixture is done. Drain well.

Place beef mixture in a large bowl. Stir in tortilla pieces and next 4 ingredients and 1 cup of the shredded cheese. Spoon mixture into a lightly greased 11×7 in. baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with remaining 1 cup cheese.

Bake at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes or until completely bubbly. Serve casserole with desired toppings.

*I added 1 small can green enchilada sauce to the grocery list. I then  poured this sauce over the bottom of the greased baking dish before spooning the casserole into the dish. It made it a little more “saucy” as I like a lot of sauce to dip  tortillas.
