Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
1packBeef-Mushroom Freezer Mix
¼cupWater
1canHot enchilada sauce(10oz)
1canGreen chilies(4oz)
1canRed chilies(4oz)(see note)
3cupsCorn chips
cupShredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

Dip container of frozen mix in hot water just to loosen. In 2-quart saucepan, heat frozen mix, water and enchilada sauce to boiling.

Reduce heat; cover and simmer, stirring frequently, until mix is thawed, about 20 minutes. Heat oven to 350'. Rinse green and red chilies to remove seeds (the seeds are very hot). Cut chilies into small pieces. Arrange 2 cups of the corn chips, and half each of the meat mixture, chilies and cheese in ungreased baking dish, 10x6x1¾ inches; repeat with remaining meat mixture, chilies and cheese.

Sprinkle with remaining corn chips. Bake uncovered until casserole is bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. NOTE: This casserole is hot and spicy. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can substitute 1 can (2 ounces) sliced pimiento, drained, for the red chilies.
