Chicken Enchilada Casserole

On busy weeknights, the last thing that I want to do is to pull out every pot and pan to make dinner. Because of this, I am a huge fan of one pot meals. It is a beautiful thing when you can take all the ingredients and using only one pot, create a delicious, nutritious meal for yourself and your family. This Chicken Enchilada Casserole can be done either in the oven or in a crockpot. I have added instructions for using a crockpot at the end of the recipe.

You can add as much spice as you like based on your personal preferences. I have a variety of tastes and opinions in my house when it comes to spicy food, anywhere from none to so hot that it makes the top of your head explode. My philosophy is people can add their own heat after serving.

Serve it with tortilla chips for all the taste of chicken enchiladas in a one pot meal.

So easy that this recipe is perfect for any day of the week, anytime you want to have an easy fun meal, pair this casserole with chips and our Cowboy Caviar for an appetizer, while you are prepping your dinner.
