Enchilada recipe offers south-of-the-border flavor.

Enchilada Casserole

1 pound ground beef

1/2 medium onion, chopped

4-ounce can chopped green chilies

10.75-ounce can condensed cheddar cheese soup

6 tablespoons water

Tortilla chips, coarsely crushed

10-ounce can enchilada sauce

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup sliced black olives

Spray an 8-inch square pan with cooking spray, and preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Brown ground beef and onion together, drain. While the ground beef is cooking, combine the green chiles, cheese soup and water in a small saucepan; heat until smooth and warmed.

Spread a third of the cheese sauce in the baking pan; top with half the tortilla chips, half the ground beef, half the shredded cheese, half the black olives and half of the enchilada sauce; repeat and top with remaining third of cheese sauce.

Bake, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes.
