Whole Latta Enchilada Soup

Chef1MOM~Connie's Note:

Another crockpot recipe from the Busy Woman's Slow Cooker Cookbook, (Cookbook Swap 2008, ALSKANN). A Mexican flavor that can warm your insides. I like simple and comforting. I especially LOVE easy peasy and come home to dinner menus. Makes life so simple for the busy mom or dad or busy person!

This was really good! Made it for my husband's lunches. Instead of pinto beans only had ranch style and one can of enchilada sauce so also added a 14oz. can of green chili enchilada sauce. He wants it hotter so next time I'll add a can of HOT Rotel. Put a dollop of sour cream and shredded cheese on top and he added crushed tortilla chips. I'm going keep all of these ingredients in stock so I can make it anytime. Thank you!

This was very good! I added rotel tomatoes and Red Enchilada Sauce. My DD and I added cheese. It really didn't turn out as thick as I would have liked but is still great with tortilla chips. Thanks! Made for THE GROOVY GASTROGNOMES and ZWT5 Zingo.

Made as directed, using Chef #89831 's Kittencal's Red Enchilada or Taco Sauce. This was good but seemed like it was missing something - not sure what. Tasted more like a chili rather than enchiladas. Made for Saucy Senoritas Zingo ZWT5.
