I have made this recipe so many times, and each time I am amazed how good it is!! This is the best enchilada recipe I have found...thank you!!! -
Delicious, I did make it with shredded beef I cooked in a crock pot instead of ground beef, also added green chiles to the beef mixture. -
Dh liked these, at first I didn't much care for them but they grew on me as the meal went on. They were a bit dry so next time I would add more salsa. Thanks for a new twist on a meal we have often. -
Very Very Good. The only thing different I did was to 1/2 the recipe and also used half-n-half in place of the whipping cream. A nice evening supper. Made for PRMR.~ -
I really loved the extras in the sauce! Thickening, and adding cumin and cream made these some of the best beef enchiladas I have every had! Thanks for sharing this twist on one my favorite dinners! Made for New Kids on the Block tag game.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
