Cheesy Beef Enchiladas

My good friend fixed these for me a couple years ago when we both lived in Louisiana. Both of our families moved to Alabama within six months of each other. When we moved I told her that I had missed her because I had been craving her enchiladas. My husband used to request for her to fix them for us. She gave me permission to post the recipe and said that the recipe originally came from Taste of Home.

1 lb. ground beef

1/2 medium onion
