Do you love enchiladas? This recipe is a fun new twist on a classic Mexican dish! This classic recipe we’ve made into a casserole for those busy weeknights…now enchiladas can be any anytime meal! I love that you can customize this Enchilada Casserole recipe to include the types of ingredients you love in your enchiladas. Enchiladas casserole is perfect for a family dinner or for a party dish! I think the idea of whipping up our favorite meals as a casserole is such a great time saver. Espeically when it comes to enchiladas which are typically a little more time consuming to make! This casserole is much easier to construct and it’s still full of awesome flavors!
