Who needs a Snuggie...

...when you have a Missy!

She might have been saying, "GET THIS MONSTER OFF MY LEGS!"
No babies were harmed in the taking of this picture. I do watch he Lena Kate to make sure she isn't going to fall off the couch and although Missy did crawl up all on her own-she wanted that blanket-I made sure Missy AKA Fat Dog wasn't squashing her little feet too bad.

Beef and Cheese Enchiladas - Grandmother Henderson Style

(You can't grow up in South Texas and not crave enchiladas often. These are easy, but a bit messy to make)

1 lb ground beef

1 small onion, diced

1 tsp salt

pepper

1 pkg McCormick's Enchilada Mix

1 can tomato sauce

2 cans water

1 cup Crisco

corn tortillas

1 pck each of colby jack and monterey jack cheese

Brown beef in skillet: drain (leave a little grease if you don't mind it-makes them better!)

Add onion, cook until soft. Add salt and pepper, tomato sauce and water. Simmer 5 minutes and set aside.

In another skillet heat Crisco and lightly cook tortillas one at a time on both sides. I cook until the edges are a little crispy when you try to roll them. Dip in meat mixture adn place in casserole dish. Fill with meat and cheese, roll, and place seam down. When the pan is full, sprinkle with meat mixture and cheese down the center of enchiladas. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until bubbly.

I can't beleive I'm publishing this "lovely" picture of me.

Here is the dipping fried tortilla in meat sauce step.

Enjoy - I'll be making these this week. You can also freeze these, but they are not as good as fresh. The tortillas get a little mushy, but they are still YUMMY!
