Cheesy Enchilada Soup – A delicious and hearty soup filled with ground beef, enchilada sauce, beans, tomatoes, and corn. It’s a quick and easy one-pot supper too!

I love this time of year because it means I get to cook comfort food! This Cheesy Enchilada Soup is just that…Comfort! What makes it unique is that it is made with enchilada sauce. It is also easy to whip up on a week night, which makes it that much more appealing! This recipe makes a BUNCH!! When I make it, I often freeze the leftovers for another busy night too.

In my opinion, this is the perfect fall/winter meal!
