Crock-Pot Slow Cooker Enchilada Casserole

ChefDLH's Note:

This is a great recipe to put together in the am and let it cook all day. The house fills with a great aroma and then you eat a flavorful meal. This recipe can be made with either the corn tortillas or flour tortillas. It comes out in a layered lasagna type way with the tortillas soft but not soggy. This recipe is one originally made by Shellie Hurrle. While there are a ton of enchilada casseroles out there this one is specifically made for the slow cooker/crockpot. Fast and easy. Enjoy.

I made this tonight. I used this recipe as a base and made a handful of changes. 1. didn't have enough beef - so added a drained can of black beans for the extra beef / protien. I used wheat flour tortillas. I also added a can of drained rotel tomatoes with green chilis. I also added adobo spice and chipolte spice to the mix. Lastly, garnished with fresh cilantro and sour cream. It was good - but it wasn't exceptional. Also - the flour tortilla on the bottom stuck - so I'd add some of the sauce to the bottom to prevent sticking, or spray with pam before beginning....

We loved it! I'm asked to bring this to every potluck and always rely on it for a quick fix when the cupboard is starting to run dry. Love it especially with corn tortillas!
