ENCHILADA CASSEROLE 
1 1/2 lb. ground beef
1 med. onion, chopped
1 can (15 1/2 oz.) refried beans
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 c. salad oil
12 canned or frozen tortillas
1 tomato, peeled & chopped
Cheese Sauce

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cook and stir ground beef and onion until meat is brown and onion is tender. Stir in beans, salt and pepper. In another skillet heat oil until hot enough to sizzle. Quickly dip each tortilla in hot oil just until it is softened. Place about 1/3 cup meat mixture on each softened tortilla; top with chopped tomato and roll tightly.

Arrange tortillas seam side down in oblong baking dish, 13 1/2 x 9 x 2 inches. Pour Cheese Sauce over tortillas. (At this point casserole may be refrigerated or freezed.) Bake uncovered 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly in center. Garnish with pitted whole ripe olives and green pepper rings, if desired. 6 servings.
