Bound to Recipe

I got pretty decorated recently and decided to go on on mitt a few recipes that still have a made-from-scratch feel, but are faster to prepare. This layered enchilada casserole recipe uses something nosotros usually make ourselves – the cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soup. In this instance, using the canned soup made the best-layered goulash for a quick dinner.

Chicken, Beef or Beans in Your Layer?

I used chopped chicken with this recipe, but hands, you lot could use beef or beans. If you cook the meat alee of time it will be fifty-fifty quicker when you lot have all you need on mitt to turn out this layered enchilada casserole chop-chop. It's fast and very tasty.

Saute the onions and mushrooms.

I wasn't completely sure about the soup, or Rotel. It was a adept choice for fast.

How to Make the Best Layered Enchilada Casserole

If you make up one's mind to use beans, you can cook them ahead of fourth dimension and freeze them. Pinto beans are easy to make in a pressure cooker and freeze nicely in portions. I would probably brew mine up with some olive oil and spices and heat them upwards earlier spreading on the layers. You could also use canned beans for a quick ready.

I used beans in the sauce and chicken for the meat.

White cheddar cheese is my total favorite. For everything.

Cream Sauce From Scratch?

Withal, if you lot want to brand your own cream of mushroom or cream of craven soups, it'due south actually non hard if you take time! You can make your own white sauce and add chopped mushrooms, and chicken bouillon powder. While information technology's not mentioned in our from-scratch white sauce, I practise replace some broth with white wine and add 1 tsp. or and then of poultry seasoning. Encounter our enchiladas for our white sauce.

Green onion on top, then good.

This was far better than I imagined, perfect for an like shooting fish in a barrel fast dinner.

We dearest brown rice as a side dish with enchiladas!

Instructions

Saute onions and chopped mushrooms with butter in a big skillet.
Add the cream of chicken and mushroom soups, tomatoes with chilis, chicken broth or wine, heavy cream, garlic, and spices. Mix upwardly and let bubble for a few minutes.
Spray the pans with non-stick spray. Start layering your goulash. You'll be doing this twice so use half of the mixture on each layer for each pan. Cover the bottom of your pan/pans with tortillas, overlapping is fine.
Comprehend the tortillas with your meat or edible bean option and the soup mixture.
Add together cheeses and a portion of enchilada sauce. OH YUMMY! I've found that a adept rustic white cheddar is the best cheese to apply for this casserole.
Repeat the same layer.
With cheeses as the ending layer, add the residue of enchilada sauce and top with chopped green onions.
Broil at 375 degrees for about 40 minutes until bubbly and brown. Brown rice is a groovy side with this!
