  1. This was great. Margie allowed me to use chopped cooked chicken as a sub for the ground beef, since I had that on hand. I made the sauce the night before, then put in the crockpot the next morning before work. I sprayed my nonstick crockpot and cooked for 6 1/2 hours on low then left on keep warm for 4 hours till I got home. Cooked perfect, came out clean. I love the ease of the homemade sauce and the taste is so much better than store bought. I may use the sauce part for oven made traditional enchiladas also. Can't wait to try this with ground beef. Thanks for posting.
     
  2. I love the concept of this recipe, but for me it needs a bit of tinkering. First, I highly recommend that folks spray their crock with cooking spray (both bottom and sides), then I would reduce the cook time as mine came out burned to the sides of the pot at 6 hours. The interior of the casserole was still edible, though, and had good flavor. I used ground turkey, and I added extras like lots of garlic, some cumin, and additional salt to the sauce. Thanks for posting! Made for Went to Market Tag.

<p>I am a stay at home mom with&nbsp;5 wonderful children. When I have time I love to scrapbook and journal. I also crochet and do cross-stitch and enjoy reading my Bible. Sometimes I am all into trying new things then other times I only want old standbys. I like to get veggies into my picky kids by sneaking them in where they were not expecting them. I've learned that its improtant to try new things 2 or 3 times before you can really consider it rejected. Sometimes the second time you offer it to them they will scarf it down, when the first time they barely got down the mandatory taste bite. Go figure.</p> 8725182"
