Mom's Yummy Enchiladas

Here is another recipe of my own invention and one I have served my family and friends for many years. It is simply called 'Mom's Yummy Enchiladas'. It is quick, easy, diabetic friendly, and a complete meal-in-one. In todays busy society, we are all looking for something that is quick and easy, tastes good, doesn't break the food budget, and is tasty. I believe this recipe fits the bill. You have meat, dairy, vegetables,and bread (tortillas) in the main dish. Once you add the topping of lettuce and diced tomatoes, you have added the salad. What could be more simple? And it's tasty, too! If you like Tex-Mex, you should love this recipe! Happy eating!

Mom's Yummy Enchiladas

1 1/4 lb lean ground beef

1 can mild chili beans

1 dozen flour tortillas

1 medium onion, chopped

3/4 lb grated cheddar cheese, divided

1 can enchilada sauce, your "heat" preference as desired

Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour into a colander and drain well. Rinse with hot water to remove fat. Return beef to skillet and add chili beans. Heat to simmer and cook 5-10 minutes. Divide the meat/bean mixture evenly among the 12 tortillas centering mixture in the center of the tortillas. Divide the onion evenly among the tortillas adding atop the meat/bean mixture. Top with approximately 1 tablespoon of the cheese per tortilla. Roll tortilla tightly around mixture and hold together with a toothpick. Place close together in a baking dish. Spoon the enchilada sauce over the tortillas, covering each. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of the sauce. Add lid to casserole dish or cover with foil if lid is not available. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes until bubbly and cheese is melted. Remove from oven and place on individual plates or a serving platter. Garnish with shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes. Serve with sour cream, guacamole and salsa, if desired.

This recipe is suitable for diabetics as it has protein in the meat, beans and cheese to counteract the carbs.

NOTE: BE SURE TO REMOVE TOOTHPICKS BEFORE SERVING!! CHOKING ON A HIDDEN TOOTHPICK CAN BE DEADLY. Never let it be said your cooking killed someone!

How long is ground coffee in a vacuum-sealed tub good for after the sell by date?

I found a small container of some of my favorite coffee(small company that's hard to find) from my old job that fell behind the pantry, unfortunately the "sell by" date is about 8 months ago... but it's unopened and when i broke the silver foil seal it smelled fresh and delicious.. i can't resist brewing some and seeing how it tastes lol

When they pack it and whole bean coffee, they inject a bit of nitrogen gas to preserve the freshness, it will be fine for a few more weeks, I would put it in a container and keep it cool in the frig, and use it when you like. I buy whole bean coffee and grind it per pot, this way it stays fresher longer and I keep my beans in the freezer in a sealed container.
