I just realized that I completely forgot to add the Crockpot Enchilada Version.......where is my head today???

I decided to give you 2 recipes, the one above because its' OH SO GOOD....and then a crockpot one. Here it is:

CROCKPOT ENCHILADAS

l lb. ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 pkg. super sized corn tortillas (10 in a pack)
1 med. sized can mild enchilada sauce
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 lb. sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 can corn, drained

Cook ground beef and onion together and drain off the fat. Stir together enchilada sauce and cream of chicken soup. Cut tortillas in half. Place some sauce in the bottom of your cp. Layer 3 tortillas (6 halves) around cp and cover center. Spread out half of the beef, top with half of the corn, pour sauce on to cover and then sprinkle with one third of the cheese. Do another layer the same way then top with the rest of the tortillas, cover with sauce and sprinkle with the rest of the cheese. You can also toss in some sliced olives in you'd like. I cooked mine on 5 1/2 hours low and then the another 45 minutes on high and it was perfect. (I think my cp is a 5 qt. one and it is round).
