Cheesy Beef Enchilada Skillet
Description
The Cheesy Beef Enchilada Skillet starts by browning ground lean beef with diced onion until fully cooked and translucent, creating a savory base. Spices like garlic powder and salt are added, followed by red enchilada sauce and diced green chiles to give the dish its signature flavor and mild heat. Sour cream is incorporated to add creaminess and balance the acidity of the sauce.
After bringing the mixture to a simmer and allowing it to thicken slightly, shredded cheddar cheese is mixed in and also sprinkled on top, then melted under a lid to add gooey, rich layers. This one-skillet dish is straightforward and hearty with a smooth sauce coating the seasoned meat, ideal for casual meals.
The skillet can be served directly, optionally garnished with sliced black olives and chopped green onions to add brightness and contrast to the cheesy, spicy meat mixture.
