ENCHILADA BAKE

Crust:

4 ounces cream cheese, softened

2 eggs 

1/2 teaspoon Taco Seasoning

8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded

1/4 ounce tortilla chips, finely crushed *

Beat or whisk the cream cheese and eggs until smooth. Add the seasoning; mix well. Stir in the cheese and crushed chips; mix well. Grease a 9×13″ baking dish or line with parchment paper; spread the cheese mixture evenly over the bottom. Bake at 350º, 35 minutes or until browned, but not too dark. Let stand 5-10 minutes before adding the topping.

* 1/4 ounce is about 4-5 small round tortilla chips. I used the unflavored white corn kind. They only add about 4 carbs to the whole recipe

Topping:

1 pound ground beef

1 tablespoon Taco Seasoning

1/2 batch Red Enchilada Sauce (about 1 cup)

8 ounces pepper-jack cheese, shredded

Brown the hamburger; drain fat. Stir in the seasoning and enchilada sauce. Spread over the crust. Top with the cheese. Bake another 20 minutes or so until hot and bubbly.
