Simple to make and rather tasty enchilada casserole from Cooks.com. A colleague brought this to a work lunch potluck and I thought my family would enjoy it. Well I was partly right, 2 out of 3 kids gave it an “excellent” and “this is my favorite”. The toddler didn’t care for it, but that can be said about most of the things I make, but I try anyway. I used less cheese and 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup to make it a little lighter on the calories.

Ingredients
1 lb. Ground beef
1 Clove garlic, minced
1 small onion, chopped
1 lb. Cheddar cheese, shredded (I only used 2 to 3 cups and it was plenty cheesy)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
12 to 15 soft corn tortillas, cut into strips
8 oz. Enchilada sauce
4 oz. Green chilies, diced
Directions
Cook meat, garlic and onion in skillet until browned. Mix soups and green chilies. Dip half tortilla strips in enchilada sauce on both sides and line bottom of 13×9 inch pan (coated with nonstick cooking spray). Cover with half meat, half cheese and soup mixture. Repeat layers with cheese on top. Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes. Casserole can be made ahead and refrigerated. Enjoy!
I served it with plain white rice topped with Puerto Rican Red Beans.

I love rotisserie chicken but have been rather intimidated to try and cook a whole chicken (or turkey, for that matter) myself. So when whole chickens went on sale for $1 per pound, I was on a mission to find a way to cook it easily and tastily. Note: This post contains affiliate links as…
I have been favoring slow cooker recipes this past week when we had family visiting. Who wants to spend time in the kitchen in the summer with family in town? I would rather spend time with them! Slow cooked meat is better for my RA than grilled or fried meat and it comes out so…
