Note: I got this recipe from a friend. It is a facebook post with the info at the end of the post. Don't know what "batch red enchilada sauce" means but I will use a can of enchilada sauce. It is very low carb which is why I am posting it here. Fat content seems a little high but if you are going low carb, it appears to be a good recipe. My suggestions for diabetics are in ()
ENCHILADA BAKE
Crust:
4 ounces cream cheese, softened (low fat)
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon Taco Seasoning
8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 ounce tortilla chips, finely crushed (baked chips)
Beat or whisk the cream cheese and eggs until smooth. Add the seasoning; mix well. Stir in the cheese and crushed chips; mix well. Grease a 9x13" baking dish or line with parchment paper; spread the cheese mixture evenly over the bottom. Bake at 350ยบ, 35 minutes or until browned, but not too dark. Let stand 5-10 minutes before adding the topping.
Topping:
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon Taco Seasoning

1/2 batch Red Enchilada Sauce (about 1 cup)

Brown the hamburger; drain fat. Stir in the seasoning and enchilada sauce. Spread over the crust. Top with the cheese. Bake another 20 minutes or so until hot and bubbly.

The addition of the tortilla chips makes a big difference in this dish and adds less than a carb per serving. I was making the crust for my Enchilada Bake recipe and threw the crushed chips in on a whim. I wasn't even sure if such a tiny bit would be noticeable but was pleasantly surprised to find that they add a nice corn tortilla flavor.
