Slow Cooker Enchiladas

"An extremly good recipe and what could be better than a crock-pot recipe on a busy day. My family loves this, it is quite warming in the winter months, and is still a good dish in the summer. I think this is different than anything else I've seen on zaar, it comes from Taste of Home."

  1. Another one that will go into occassional rotation...though I think I might like it more if my crockpot didn't seem to have a hot spot...must have rattled something when we moved. Had made a few changes to ours...I cook ground beef in bulk and then freeze it in 1c. increments so my beef useage was 2c. Adjusted amounts as follows: 2c. grnd beef 1/3c dried minced onion no green pepper (forgot to get some) used kidney rather than pinto used italian-style diced tomatoes added about 1/3 of a 4oz can of green chilies added an additional 1/4c water because of the dried onion (I hadn't rehydrated them) 1/2t chili pwd everything else remained the same except I used up the end of a bag of shredded colby jack before I started using the sharp and jack requested. We had added green enchilada sauce and sour cream upon serving. It actually ended up being a bit spicier than we would have prefered so next time I'll try omiting the chilies and reducing the chili pwd further. MIL didn't notice any variation in spiciness with or without the enchilada sauce. Thanks for sharing with the rest of us!

I have always loved to cook. This got me into trouble with my wieght, because I loved to eat what I cooked. I am now a weight watcher, I have to lighten most recipes. My favorite cookbooks are Taste of Home & Taste of Home Light. MY pet peeve is boxed dinners. I do love simple and quick though. I have 3 grown sons, one is in last semester of college, one is married and a new baby is on the way, so I will be grandma in January. My daughter-in-law hates to cook, they order prepared food off the internet, that makes me crazy. ha. I love animals, but right now only have one dog. A bloodhound. She is so loveable, I would recommend this breed to anyone as long as you have patience, but they are one of the most loving breeds out there.My married son has 3 lab. retrievers,a baby will be easy after those 3 monsters, as I lovingly called them when they were pups. My oldest son has a Rottwieller. I have had 3 Rotts, they have all pasted, buy they are a really great breed. They are so smart and loveable, I guess that's why people who chose to make them bad, can do so, all they want to do is please their owners. My real passion is shoes, shoes, shoes. I also love jewelry, but shoes, shoes, shoes,!!!!! Update I am finally grandma to the prettiest baby girl ever. She was born on Jan. 15, her name is Mariah. She is perfect!
