Crockpot Enchilada Bake

1.5 pounds of ground beef
1/2 an onion diced
2 cloves garlic minced
1/2 cup salsa
2-3 cups enchilada sauce.... heat is your preference
5 cups cheese
16 corn tortillas fried very lightly (30 seconds on each side) or wrapped in moist paper towels in microwave until pliable
1 small can roasted chilis
1 packet taco seasoning mixed with 1/2 cup water

1. Put crockpot on low!!! cooks in 2-4 hours!! will burn or if you leave the house keep on warm then crank to high or low when home.
2. In a pan add 1 tablespoon of canola oil and add in diced onion...saute until translucent then add in ground beef ( add in salt pepper garlic salt and onion salt if desired) after breaking apart meat and is halfway cooked add in garlic cloves and finish cooking on medium. Then once browned add in half a can of raosted chilis, 1/2 cup salsa the taco seasoning and water, Cook for 15 minutes on low and let flavors mingle.
3. In meantime lightly fry tortilla and grate cheese... I promose you grated cheese tastes and melts so much better and is cheaper!!!
4. Ok so we are ready to start layering in crockpot.
5. Add 1 cup sauce to bottom of crockpot more if you like it saucy but we are going to pour more on top. Then layer 4 tortillas on bottom sinlge layered then pour 1/3 of meat over then 1 cup cheese...then another layer of tortillas...meat the another cup of cheese...then one more layer of tortillas rest of meat sauce and 1 more cup of cheese...then place last 4 tortillas on top dump sauce over the top of the tortillas (will seep to bottom and throughout...then top with rest of chilis and more cheese.... I probably use more cheese than i report here lol I LOVE CHEESE!!!
6. Put lid on and let it do its thing! Yummo!

Serve with a dollop of sour cream then crushed tortilla chips and green onions/olives and anything else you like! Enjoy
