Great for family dinners!April 08, 2009By samlab25
"This is a recipe I can easily make over and over. I use sour cream and chips to top it off for the crunch. My family loves it. I do recommend that you use spicy (hot) enchilada sauce. The mild sauce tends to get lost in the soup and hamburger and so there isn't as much Mexican taste. You can also add more chilies and jalepenos if you'd like."
