This casserole is great for when you feel like eating enchiladas, but don't have the time to actually make them. All the flavor of enchiladas, without all the work! For this recipe, I would drain the ground beef after cooking it. Since I don't like my food that spicy, I would omit the jalapeno pepper. I would also use reduced fat cheddar cheese.
