Simple and comforting, Green Chile Enchilada Bake makes good use of leftover turkey or shredded chicken and is easy enough to make on a weeknight!
I know right now things are getting holiday hectic and even though there’s tons of planning to do, gifts to buy and sweets making to worry about, my family {and yours} still has to eat dinner every.single.night. What’s a mother to do?! Keep things easy, flavorful and deliciously cheesy!! How about a 5 ingredient casserole? Yep, that fits the bill around these parts. This dish is easily made ahead of time and ready to pop in the oven in time for dinner.
Many of my favorite dishes have Mexican theme, those flavors are ones I could eat a few times a week and be content. Traditional enchiladas require heating and rolling the tortillas, a task I’d rather not spend time doing. So I make the lazy gal’s version – layer the filling and tortillas in a 9×13 casserole dish, top with Kraft Mexican Four Cheese Blend and heat until melty and delicious. All the flavors are there in a fraction of the time. Today’s recipe pairs green chiles and green enchilada sauce with leftover holiday turkey {or shredded chicken}, mix together add Kraft Mexican Four Cheese Blend and layer with corn tortillas. Dinner made so stinkin’ easy, you’ll have time to address your Christmas cards the night you make this for supper. 😉

I am making the Green Chile Enchilada Bake tonight for dinner. When I first looked at the recipe I basically scanned it. Now looking closer the directions never mention the Chopped Green Chili’s. I am assuming they are drained and added to the meat and cheese mixture. I do hope I am correct.
Please let me know if I made the right decision.
Thank You
