One Pan Enchilada Bake
The easiest and cheesiest enchilada bake made in a single pan – easy peasy with only one dirty pot. You can’t beat that!
The cheesiest enchiladas without any of the fuss. Now that’s a meal I can get onboard with 5 times a week.
And when it comes together in a single pan – well, that’s a double win right there.
Loaded with all kinds of veggies – which can easily be customized to your liking and what you have on hand – this is really a meal in and of itself.
Although tortilla chips on the side is highly recommend.
Now the tortilla is actually swapped out to something even more amazing here, and that’s biscuit dough.
Yes, biscuit dough is diced and thrown right into the skillet, letting that get nicely golden brown.
And when you take a bite out of that puffy biscuit, it is the most fluffiest, cheesiest bite you will ever have.
And after this, I just don’t think I can go back to traditional enchiladas anymore!

Wow!! This is sooo yummy! Made this tonight for dinner and it’s a new fav! I was pretty worried about just mixing the biscuit dough in, but it totally works! (And us the best part!) I also was feeling there wasn’t many ingredients (like more veggies and things) but it doesn’t need them. So quick and easy to make just it icing in the cake. Thanks!
Do you actually stir in the biscuit dough or do you top the dish with it? I’m worried that when I stir it in, they will clump together, melt slightly, or it will all end up on one side of the dish.
Mandy, as indicated in the instructions, you will “Stir in biscuits and top with cheese.” Clumping is not much of an issue but if you are worried about it, please feel free to top off the skillet with the biscuits instead of stirring it in. Hope that helps!
I stirred in the dough and it didn’t seem to bake at all. I put it in for another 15 minutes so we will see what happens
Oh no – I worry that maybe your oven temperature is not calibrated and may be set at a much lower temperature than indicated in the recipe.
Wowzers this was delish, made a few minor changes/add ins but man what a great meal to end a crazy busy day. Served it with a side of spinach. I am already super excited for lunch tomorrow (leftovers for the win!) Thank you, thank you, thank you! Love all your one pot meals please keep them coming 🙂 YUM
What an awesome idea, to use biscuit dough!! It’s like an enchilada pot pie… holy moly. Can’t wait to try, thanks for the recipe 🙂 Pinned!
Made this last nite its great thanks so much I am 85 years old and need simply recipes Kiss LOL thanks again
This recipe is a family favorite and I just made it for the first time! I added diced canned chilis and I sautéed an onion with the beef. Definitely will be sharing with friends.
It’s a winner! This is seriously one of the best one pot casseroles I’ve made. As with any casserole, you have a bit of liberty with ingredients. I sauteed onions and red pepper with the meat just because I like it. Along with the taco seasoning, I added a couple of dashes of Chipotle Tabasco sauce because I like things a little spicy. I accidentally bought a green enchilada sauce and a mexican tomato sauce (with chilies). I could only find a Grands type buttermilk biscuilt so I used 5 of them and baked the others for another use. It came out of the oven looking at beautiful as the the pictures above, but the pictures do not do this casserole justice. As good as the pictures are, imagine the taste x 10! I will definitely make this many times and I’ve already shared with recipe with friends and family. We are retired so I don’t have a large brood to feed anymore, but you could easily adapt this recipe to a 10 x 13 dish (no longer one pot,but who cares?) to feed a bigger family.
I LOVE one pot meals! So easy… and this one looks so clever! The cheesy topping makes me want to drool all over the picture!
Oh dear! You’ve done it again! Another excellent yet easy recipe. I did it yesterday & it was delicious. I’m a vegetarian so I omitted the meat part. Next time I’m going to use Indian style Garbanzo curry for some protein addition. Please post more vegetarian or veggie adaptable recipes. I love your blog.
Just signed up for a meal train for my room mother. I think her family (which include my student!) will love this. I will have to throw it together after school and this looks like it would be speedy. Do you think it would work okay if I prepped everything the night before and just threw it into the oven from the fridge? That would be ideal! Any recommendations for sides? Dessert?
I’m not entirely sure if you can prep it the night before as I have never tried it myself. Please use your best judgment for preparation. As for sides and dessert – that really depends on what your family likes. We just ate this as is and gobbled up the entire pan!
All my favorite Mexican flavors with one dish to wash? yes Please. Pinning to try some night soon.
Love the addition of biscuit dough. So delicious looking!!
This sounds and looks delicious! Just added it to my weekly meal list!!
Absolutely freakin’ amazing! I made it tonight and my son and I had the same reaction to the first bite: oh dear god!
We definitely need to make this for our next Taco Tuesday!
It’s in the oven! 🙂
So much cheesy goodness. My fork is ready!
Nice and easy. Thanks so much.
Looks and sounds fantastic! I may try this but with a layer of cornbread batter on the top instead of the biscuit dough. Larry
Mmmmm Cornbread topping. What a great idea!!
That looks delicious! I can’t wait to try it. Thanks for sharing!
