Disasterous Beef 'N' Rice Enchiladas

Okay so has anyone else ever made the same HUGE mistake that I did tonight?  Enchilada sauce comes in different spiciness levels!!  Yes my friends it does.  Tonight I succeeded causing my families lips to catch on fire and their noses to run!!  If they recover it will be a miracle!  I can tell you that there will be some things that I will be sure that I do next time I make this recipe!!  For starters, I will be sure to purchase the Enchilada sauce in mild and not HOT!  The pan also needs to be sprayed with the spray grease first so that things do not stick!  This recipe really is good and it was very easy to make.  Below you will find the recipe, enjoy my friends and I hope that your family will have a better experience then mine did!

I do want to give credit to the Taste of Home website for these recipes! It is an awesome website!
