    List of Ingredients




    Yankee Cheddar Enchilada Casserole


    2 tablespoons corn oil
    2 onions -- chopped
    2 cloves garlic -- chopped
    2 pounds lean ground beef
    2 1/2 cups tomatoes, peeled and chopped
    2 dried hot red chili peppers, seeded and chopped
    1 dozen tortillas
    oil for frying
    2 cups half and half
    6 beef bouillon cubes
    8 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese

    Recipe




    Heat the corn oil and cook the chopped onions and garlic gently
    until soft, about 2 - 3 minutes. Stir in the ground beef and cook
    until it changes color, breaking it up with a fork. Add the tomatoes
    and crush with a spoon to mix with the meat, then add the chopped
    red peppers.

    While the meat and tomato mixture is simmering, separate the
    tortillas and heat about 1" of oil in as large a skillet as you have
    and fry the tortillas, turning them over when they bulge. When they
    have cooked about 1 minute, remove the tortillas and drain on paper
    towels.

    Heat the half and half to the simmering point and dissolve the beef
    cubes in it. Dip each tortilla in the hot milk and let it cook there
    for about 30 seconds.

    Place 1 tortilla, folded, in a shallow baking dish, lift the top
    half, and fill with 2 - 3 tablespoons of the meat mixture, then
    cover with the top half of the tortilla. Repeat, arranging the
    folded tortillas snugly next to each other so they fill the dish.
    Spoon any leftover meat mixture on top of the tortillas, then cover
    with the grated cheese.

    Bake in a preheated 350° oven for about 30 minutes, until the
    cheese bubbles.
