Chicken Enchilada Casserole

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I grew up in West Texas and New Mexico and this was a staple on our weekend supper table. The only thing missing from the directions for this recipe was to mention that you use the soup just as it is in the can; you do not first "prepare" the soup as instructed on the can. Some of us fully understand this, but I've seen more than one cooking "beginner" dilute the condensed soup before adding it into the recipe. I grew up with this recipe except for the fact that we layered the tortillas, diced chilies, cheese, onions and chicken (or ground beef) in a deep round casserole dish and didn't add any soup until all the layering was done; then we poured a can of cream of mushroom soup on top, made sure it could seep down the sides into the layers, and baked it, topping it off with more grated cheese about 15 minutes before it was done. The mushroom soup has No Taste; it merely binds the layers together.

    Chicken Enchilada Casserole, This is easy, has an authentic Mexican flavor and gets rave reviews whenever I make it It’s like a lasagna which can be put together a day ahead, refrigerated and baked for mealtime It’s based on a recipe using a green chile/tomatillo salsa but I came up with my own red salsa as some folks just won’t try something green! and I don’t care for many of the canned enchilada sauces , This is easy, has an authentic Mexican flavor and gets rave reviews whenever I make it It’s like a lasagna which can be put together a day ahead, refrigerated and baked for mealtime It’s based on a recipe using a green chile/tomatillo salsa but I came up with my own red salsa as some folks just won’t try something green! and I don’t care for many of the canned enchilada sauces
