Method

  1. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. Cook and stir the beef and onion in the skillet until they are browned and crumbly, which usually takes around 5 to 7 minutes. Remember to drain and discard any excess grease.

  3. In the same skillet, add water and taco seasoning. Cook and stir until the water has evaporated, which usually takes about 5 minutes.

  4. In a slow cooker, combine enchilada sauce, cream of mushroom soup, and Cheddar cheese. Turn the slow cooker on the High setting.

  5. Add the ground beef mixture to the enchilada sauce mixture in the slow cooker.

  6. Cook the mixture in the slow cooker, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to bubble. This usually takes around 15 to 20 minutes.

  7. Once the sauce starts bubbling, decrease the heat to the Low or 'Keep Warm' setting to serve.
