This recipe comes from Denver Fire Fighters Favorites cookbook published in 1976. This is a quick and very tasty dish and you can increase ingredients to make a larger batch, if needed. It's always been a big seller in my house.

This was very good. I used 8 tortillas but I think 12 would have been better. Other than being a little bit to saucy this was very good. I served with spanish rice and corn. Thanks!

    Was bland for us. If I made this again, I'd add some taco seasoning mix to the meat/bean mixture, or possible some salsa. We had to add a lot of toppings to make this taste better. I give it 3 stars because it is easy to make, directions were written well & kids might like this.

    Nothing but pluses for this one. Doesn’t get any easier and quicker than browning some beef and opening a couple of cans. Except for the refried beans, that is – I used Di Neal’s refried beans, having vowed never to buy canned again. And what an unusual but absolutely delightful combination of green enchilada sauce and mushroom soup – whoda thunkit? I was doing the happy dance at the store when I found that Campbell’s now has a reduced-sodium version of their ‘shroom soup. The only thing I added were some chopped caramelized onions to the meat mixture and a little cumin for seasoning, simply because I was using all low-sodium or sodium free ingredients; and at the very end of the baking time, I put the dish under the broiler for just a few minutes to get a few of those lovely little brown bits on the bubbling cheese. Went back for seconds, so we did. You really ought to try these.

    Yowza, this is good stuff! The fist main course I made from a recipe I found here, and it sure is a winner! OK, here's what I did different... I browned the hamburger with about half of an onion (chopped). I used red enchilada sauce. Oh, and when I mixed the cream of mushroom soup with the 2 cans of enchilada sauce, it was horribly lumpy and very unappealing, so I used the whisk attachment on my hand mixer to smooth it out. I'm funny about the appearance of my food, so I wouldn't have been able to eat it had I not used the whisk. What I'd do different next time... I'd definitely double the amount of cheese to be sprinkled before baking. We're cheese lovers, and were fighting over the melted cheese! Next time, I'll use a different brand of refried beans. I used Ortega, and it had SOLID beans in it, and I have issues with solid beans; quite frankly, they gross me out. Actually, I had some left over hamburger/refried beans mix, so I decided to see if my 14 month old would eat it... he gobbled it all up, and was begging for more! Honestly, this dish was good enough and so easy to make that I can see this being something I make every couple of weeks! If you haven't tried this dish, drop everything and make it this instant! Thanks so much for posting such a great recipe!
