Enchilada Casserole in the Crockpot

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Slow Cooker

Layer enchilada ingredients in the slow cooker, turn it on and forget about it. With a bit of spice, these hearty enchiladas are great any time of year!

"After reading the reviews, I doubled the water and did not drain the tomatoes, but after 5 hrs it was still dry. It definitely needs to be done at 3 hrs. If you use ground chicken and fat free cheese, 8 servings is 255 calories." - lsdaisy

Enchilada Casserole in the Crockpot Preparation

Brown ground beef and onion and green pepper. Mix beef, onion, pepper, beans, tomatoes and spices. Place 3/4 cup meat and bean mixture in crockpot. Layer with tortilla then 1/2 cup cheese. Continue to layer by meat/tortilla/cheese until full. Heat on LOW 3 to 5 hours until thoroughly heated and cheese is fully melted.

Notes

Originally the recipe called for 1/3 cup water and 5-7 hours in the crockpot, but mine is an OLD model and I believe heats lower. More modern crocks heal faster & higher so I adjusted it!

    After reading the reviews, I doubled the water and did not drain the tomatoes, but after 5 hrs it was still dry. It definitely needs to be done at 3 hrs. If you use ground chicken and fat free cheese, 8 servings is 255 calories.

    We loved this! I used corn tortillas, double the water, & only cooked for 3 hours. Perfect! Served with shredded lettuce, diced tomato. Corn bread goes good also:)

    Really yummy! I only left mine in the crock pot for about 3 hours since everything in the crock pot was already cooked. It was not too dry!

    Made this a few months ago with chicken instead of the hamburger and it was delicious!!! Will definitely make this again!!

    Cooked well, but was missing something. Make sure you do add more water. Recommend using taco seasoning in burger and/or topping with taco sauce and sour cream. Would be good with black olives.

    This didn't taste anything like enchiladas; this is Mexican-spiced chili.

    Enjoyed this a lot. Used corn instead of flour tortillas.

    Family loved it. It did dry out a little to much. Next time only 5 hours in crock pot n a little more water added. I used corn tortillas. Also I garnished w green onion, sour cream n salsa.

    This dried out a little too much in the cooking, but that'd be solved easily enough by adding a bit more liquid. I'll probably also add a can of diced tomatoes next time, too. All in all, though, it's good stuff.

    Not sure what happened to my comments. This was yummy! I didn't have beans, so I subbed a can of vegetarian chili. I think I.will try it with corn tortillas next.
