EASY CROCK POT BEEF ENCHILADAS
This is an easy version of my easy oven baked beef enchiladas. There is probably a recipe like this, but I didn't use one and will make it often as it turned out well. It's also very easy. My hubby was hungry for this, but I wasn't going to be home, so I threw this together about 2 pm. He got home about 6 pm and said the smell was so good, he didn't take time to change clothes. I came in about 8 pm and even tho he had turned it off, it was warm and very good. Be sure not to over-cook as it will be dry and the tortillas tough on the edges. I think 4 hours would be the perfect amount of time. Serve with warm flour tortillas and butter or chips.

Tips:
- Prep the Beef: For the best flavor, brown the ground beef in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker. This will help to develop a rich, savory flavor.
- Choose the Right Enchilada Sauce: Use a store-bought or homemade enchilada sauce that you enjoy. If you're using a store-bought sauce, look for one that is medium or mild in heat. You can always add more spice later if desired.
- Layer the Enchiladas: When layering the enchiladas, start with a layer of sauce on the bottom of the slow cooker. Then, add a layer of tortillas, followed by a layer of beef, a layer of cheese, and a layer of sauce. Repeat these layers until you've used up all of the ingredients.
- Cook on Low and Slow: Cook the enchiladas on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the tortillas to soften.
- Serve with Your Favorite Toppings: Once the enchiladas are cooked, serve them with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, and shredded lettuce.
