• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 bell pepper, diced
• 16 oz no-salt-added tomato sauce
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 2 1/2 cups corn kernels
• 4 tsp cumin
• 4 (10-inch) flour tortillas
• 1/2 cup sliced green peppers
• 6 oz extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated

Instructions:

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes

1. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the lean ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Once the beef is cooked through, drain off any excess grease.

2. Add Seasonings: To the cooked beef, add the chopped onion, diced bell pepper, chili powder, and cumin. Stir to combine.

3. Simmer Sauce: Pour in the no-salt-added tomato sauce and let the mixture simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

4. Incorporate Corn and Olives: After the sauce has simmered, add the corn kernels and olives to the skillet. Stir well to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.

5. Layer the Pie: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a casserole dish, spread a small amount of the meat and tomato sauce mixture on the bottom. Next, layer with cut tortilla strips, followed by another layer of the meat sauce. Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of tortilla strips on top.

6. Add Water: Pour water over the top layer of tortilla strips until just covered.

7. Bake: Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

8. Top with Cheese and Vegetables: Remove the foil and sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the pie. Add sliced onions and green peppers for extra flavor and color.

9. Final Bake: Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For an extra golden finish, you can broil the pie for the last 2-3 minutes.

10. Rest and Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the Beef Enchilada Pie from the oven and let it stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the flavors to settle and makes for easier serving.
