My refrigerator door fell off last night. I bent over to get an onion out of the vegetable bin and the next thing I knew, there was a hard, heavy weight sliding right down me.
I caught the door before it slammed to the floor. Fortunately, it wasn't that heavy. I was more surprised than anything.
My daughters rushed to my aid as I yelled, "Dave! The refrigerator door fell off." Then I screwed up my face and hunkered down to hear the inevitable swearing.
You see, recently, we bought a new house and my husband blames me when anything isn't perfect. So far the floor is creaky. The dishwasher leaked and we had to replace it. The toilet seat in our bathroom came off. The shower in our bathroom is too low so he has to bend to get in and out. The toilet in the kids' bathroom was leaky. God, I hope nothing else goes wrong in the next year or he'll never stop moaning.
Luckily, he got out his handy tool kit, laid on the floor, and screwed the door back on. Meanwhile, I stepped around him to finish dinner.
So far (knock on wood), the fridge door is staying on.
When I got home tonight I had no clue what I was going to make for dinner. We already had spaghetti this week and we're out of fish. It would take at least a couple hours to make shrimp fried rice and I was too tired to do that after an eight-hour work day. I thought about making tacos but didn't have an appetite for them.
Then I remembered my husband had liked the look of a burrito recipe I found. As I dug the ingredients out of my pantry I changed my mind and decided to make an enchilada casserole which sounded faster and easier than rolling burritos.
I haven't made an enchilada casserole in awhile and I was missing the green chilies I usually add, and I had bought sour cream, so I made some changes. It obviously worked out well as my older daughter pronounced the enchilada's better than my lasagna.
I hope you'll like it, too.

Beef Enchilada Casserole
INGREDIENTS:
1-2 pounds ground, Hamburger
1 large can Red Enchilada Sauce
1 can Refried Beans
1 package Lipton's Spanish Rice, cooked
4 large Tortilla Shells
1 pound Cheddar Cheese
1 pound Sour Cream
1 chicken boullion cube
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Farenheit.
Prepare the rice. Cook the hamburger with the enchilada sauce and boullion. Set aside.
Divide the cheese into two halves.
Layer a thin covering of enchilada/hamburger sauce on the bottom of a large casserole dish. Cover with two tortillas.
Next layer the refried beans, hamburger, more enchilada/hamburger sauce, rice, and one half of the cheese. It should be nice and thick now.
Place the remaining tortilla shells over the cheese.
Smother the tortilla shells with sour cream. Make sure the tortillas are thoroughly covered. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the sour cream.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, until the cheese is meltd and golden.
