This easy-peasy casserole is everyone’s new favorite in our household. The kids ate it without any complaints (minus the onions) and I was thrilled to only have a couple dishes to wash afterwards.
Lazy enchiladas will become a new permanent meal on our menu and I’m pretty dang happy something so easy is such a big hit.
ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 large onion, diced

- In a large skillet, add ground beef and onion. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté until beef is browned and onions are softened.
