Casserole Comfort Week: Chicken Enchilada Casserole Recipe

Another of my favorite meals, my mom would always be sure to make this enchilada casserole when I was home from college.  It requires a little bit more prep work than one-dish casseroles, but I think the end result is worth the effort.

See that bubbly, browned cheese?  That’s how you know it’s bad for your waistline, and good for your soul.

You can plate up the casserole with salsa and sour cream, and whatever Mexican side dishes your family likes the best.

There is more casserole goodness to come.  Check back throughout the week for more casserole recipes!
