A delicious and filling casserole, perfect for the winter season!
With the arrival of the cold weather, I've been on the lookout for a tasty new casserole. When I saw the recipe for Chicken Enchilada Casserole on Delish, I knew I had to give it a try. It looked so delicious.
I like that instead of rolling all of the enchiladas, this casserole untraditionally speeds up the process by layering everything together in the pan. There is even some aid in making a homemade sauce instead of buying enchilada sauce.
There is plenty of room for modifications, too. This ranges from using ground beef in place of chicken or adding in some extra vegetables like beans, mushrooms, bell peppers or even sweet potatoes.
