Easy Enchilada Style Ground Beef Burrito Recipe

Easy Enchilada Style Ground Beef Burrito Recipe

This enchilada-style ground beef burrito recipe is packed with seasoned ground beef, smothered in rich red enchilada sauce, and loaded with gooey melted cheese for the ultimate comfort food. Perfect as an easy weeknight dinner or crowd-pleasing meal, this beef burrito recipe combines bold Mexican flavors with hearty ingredients for a delicious and satisfying dish the whole family will love.

Tacos and burritos instantly make me feel nostalgic, even though we didn’t have them much growing up. I actually hated ground beef because of the texture, and my mom was so patient! She never forced me to eat while I quietly melted cheese on a tortilla instead.

My biggest tip? Don’t stress about making separate meals or battles at the table. My parents just kept offering and waiting for me to try new things, and I turned out fine. Now, I offer my kids lots of toppings to make things less “gross” (looking at you, Grayson, and your avocado skepticism). I ask them to try one bite, then enjoy what they like, without catering to picky tastes every time. Mealtime should be peaceful and fun for everyone.

I’ve completely changed my mind about ground beef, and this recipe might be my favorite. These burritos are giant, filled with beef simmered in Dr. Pepper and Better Than Bouillon, and covered in a rich mix of red enchilada sauce, beef stock, and lots of melted cheese.

What are Enchilada Style Burritos?

Enchilada-style burritos are burritos that are covered in a red or green chile sauce and lots of cheese and then baked in the oven until the cheese is melted. They are also known as smothered burritos.

What Ingredients Do You Need for This Enchilada Style Ground Beef Burrito Recipe?

This recipe takes a few ingredients to make the ground beef extra flavorful and to take the sauce on top to the next level.

Ground Beef Filling

  • Ground Beef: The main filling. Choose something with a little fat so it stays flavorful.
  • Taco Seasoning: A wonderful mix of chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and oregano. Adds that classic, bold flavor everyone loves.
  • Better than Beef Bouillon: My go-to for a big boost of rich flavor.
  • Dr Pepper: My little secret, but it adds the best little hint of sweetness.
  • Water: Just helps everything cook together nicely.

Sauce

  • Butter: Starts the sauce with a rich, smooth base.
  • Flour: Thickens it up so it sticks to the burritos just right.
  • Beef Stock: Gives it a deep, savory flavor.

Chocolate Malt

One taste of a chocolate malt is all it takes to transport me back to childhood. My grandpa used to make chocolate malts for us when we visited and we’d very carefully carry them upstairs and out the second-story door to walk out on the roof and enjoy them. The excitement of being on the roof and also enjoying a frosty chocolate malt milkshake? Oh, that couldn’t be beaten.

This batch of chocolate malt ice cream took me right back to visiting my grandparents in Dewey, AZ in the summertime. There are so many memories attached to the foods we eat and I love when I can make something today that transports me back in time.

The most popular question I get is whether it’s possible to make ice cream without a machine. The answer is YES. You can make ice cream without a machine. Find the full directions here!

And if you love Whoppers or chocolate malted milk balls, you just might go a little crazy over this Chocolate Malted Crunch Ice Cream. Old-fashioned chocolate malt ice cream gets a little extra boost of fun from chopped malted milk balls.

Chocolate Malt Ice Cream

Making this ice cream is pretty darn easy. There are no eggs required and you won’t need a custard base for this ice cream. You’ll simply whisk together the cream, cocoa powder, malted milk powder, sugar, and salt in a saucepan and bring it to a simmer.

Stir in the chocolate until it melts, add the milk, and then chill your ice cream base until it’s good and cold. Once the mixture is cool, pour it into the ice cream maker and churn

This Southern Tomato Pie is what you make when dinner feels impossible but you still want something special—something that says “home.” Juicy summer tomatoes, 3 kinds of cheese, and fresh basil all tucked into a homemade flaky crust that tastes like comfort on a plate.

If there was one recipe that totally caught me by surprise it would be this one! Even kids love, love, love this tomato pie! Think margherita pizza meets pie and that’s what you get here! All the flavors of homemade pizza but in the form of a savory pie. I find that it’s best made with farm fresh tomatoes as they pack in so much more flavor and remind me of the rows and rows of beautiful, shiny red globes of tomatoes planted along the perimeter of Mom and Dad’s garden. It’s fresh and tasty with a flaky crust, what more could you want?!

Southern Tomato Pie Ingredients

This easy tomato pie recipe features a homemade crust and a cheesy tomato filling. Here’s what you’ll need to make this recipe:

For the Crust

  • Flour: Just regular all-purpose flour is all you need.
  • Sugar: Helps balance out the flavor of the crust.
  • Salt: Adds flavor to the crust.
  • Butter: Use unsalted butter so that the crust doesn’t become too salty. Butter gives the crust its rich flavor and flaky texture.
  • Ice Water: Helps bind all the ingredients together while keeping the butter and shortening cold so the crust is extra flaky.

For the Filling

  • Fresh Tomatoes: Vine ripe tomatoes are my favorite for this recipe. Roma tomatoes also work great!
  • Cheeses: Mozzarella, Parmesan, and Cheddar
  • Herbs and Spices: Salt, Garlic Powder, Oregano, Black Pepper and Fresh Basil Leaves (store-bought or fresh from the garden)
  • Mayonnaise: Duke’s is our preferred brand but you can use any mayo you want!

The measurements needed for each ingredient can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.

Our nod to Italy has Italian seasonings and vegetables in the colors of the Italian flag. Crisp tender broccoli and vibrant, slightly sweet red bell pepper combine to play off the sweet mildness of the pork.

Add a gorgeous, tomato and balsamic glaze, and I challenge you to eat just one piece. I certainly can’t stop at one! This impressive-looking and tasting dish goes great with Parmesan Pepper Pasta or a Creamy Pasta Salad. Or if you want to keep it simple, add a Spinach Pasta Salad on the side.

Cottage cheese dip is a great tasting savory snack that just happens to be high protein and good for you, too! Scoop it up with cracker, crudités, bread, or chicken bites, but do make it!

Cottage Cheese Dip

Cottage cheese is just having a great big moment of fame lately, isn’t it? And I am so very much here for it. I love cottage cheese. I eat it pretty much every day, so whenever I learn of a new way to enjoy it, I’m likely to try that immediately.

When my friend Rebecca was visiting a few months back, she shared this cottage cheese dip with me and I was hooked. It became an instant favorite not just with me, but with my family, too.

We’ve been making ours mostly with these ranch seasonings or with a packet of onion dip, but you can make this with just about any seasoning or spice mix you like. It’s awesome to have a high-protein snack food that’s so easy to put together and so tasty, too! Not only is it delicious, but it’s also much more budget friendly than protein bars and protein shakes.

Whipped Cottage Cheese

You can use whichever cottage cheese is your preference: small curd, large curd, lowfat, or full fat. Small curd has a tangier flavor and less moisture while large curd usually has a milder, sweeter taste and more moisture. That will affect the thickness and tanginess of your dip, so choose accordingly.

If you’re a cottage cheese vegetable dip fan, you may want to give our Cottage Cheese Eggs and Cottage Cheese Pancakes a whirl. And don’t forget the sweets! Believe it or not, those fabulous little curds are great in Cottage Cheese Ice Cream, too.
