Freezer enchilada casserole

Beefy Enchilada Bake 

1 lb. Ground hamburger meat
3 T.  flour
1/2 cup water
1 can (4 oz) green chilies
salt
3 cups tomato sauce
8 oz. shredded cheddar cheese (I had some squares of Tillimook so I just used those)
12 corn tortillas (I used flour because thats what I had)

Brown hamburger meat.  Do not drain grease!  Put cooked hamburger meat in separate bowl, salt  and set aside.  Sprinkle arrowroot powder into the grease and stir (if you do not have enough grease to absorb the arrowroot powder, add 2 T. butter). Keep your burner on medium to high heat.  Pour in water and “smoosh” the clumps of flour/grease around while you stir the water in.  This will thicken and make a gravy.  Pour in tomato sauce and chilies.  Stir well until bubbly.  This is now your enchilada sauce! 

Cut corn tortillas into one inch strips (mine were more like 2 inches, I'm lazy).  Dip tortilla strips in enchilada sauce and coat thoroughly.  Cover bottom of baking dish with enchilada sauce coated tortilla strips.  Sprinkle 1/3 of the cooked ground beef over the tortillas…then a little cheese.  Repeat layers twice more:  enchilada sauce coated tortilla strips, meat, cheese.  If you have any leftover enchilada sauce, drizzle it over the top.

Cover and bake at 350° for 30 – 40 minutes or until bubbly.

I didn't actually make this, I just put it together and then froze, so I'll update once I bake it.
