I bought a new cookbook this past week and I’ve been itching to make something from it. It’s The Taste of Home Cookbook-Cooks Who Care edition. There are so many awesome recipes and most of them have pictures so I know if what I’m making is close! The first recipe I ventured to try from this book was for the Garlic Beef Enchiladas.
The enchiladas were pretty awesome as well. You start with the ground beef, onions, green peppers, and garlic. Then add in some spices. Finally you add in the stewed tomatoes, which give it a rich taste and helps the meat mixture stick together. These bad boys were slightly spicy and better then anything we get at the Mexican restaurant. Since it’s only the two of us at home, I was able to save some of the meat mixture for taco salads the next day and froze a batch of the enchilada sauce for next time.
