This is a delicious casserole that your whole family will enjoy. It easier to prepare than enchiladas, because you don’t have to roll ingredients inside tortillas. You just have to layer everything in the pan and put it in the oven.

    I’m absolutely certain my husband would like this recipe! We make enchiladas at least twice a month because he is so fond of them. 🙂

    Thank you for sharing. I’m visiting today from Katherine’s Corner (Thursday’s Favorite Things).
