Beef Enchiladas

I want to start making some freezer meals so of course I searched pinterest and found several I wanted to try immediately.  This is the first one I made and I think it turned out great.  It was a little spicier than I expected, but I think it was due to the enchilada sauce I used.  I made a double batch and put one in a 9x13 pan to give to my parents and the other I split into two 8x8 pans.  We ate one 8x8 pan right away and the other a couple weeks later and both times it was very good.  An easy freezer meal to keep on hand.
