A simple filling of beef and beans is layered with tortillas and cheese in a casserole dish, then baked to melty and cheesy perfection. Add a few toppings and you've got a dinner that the whole family will enjoy. In large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. An enchilada casserole is often baked in a terra cotta (clay) baking dish called a cazuela. Mexican clay cookware heats up evenly, holds in moisture and is very durable.
