Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Casserole

Bring the fabulous flavors of Mexico to your dinner table with this slow cooked chicken casserole that’s made using Progresso® beans and Old El Paso® chiles and enchilada sauce.

You Need:


2
cans (4.5 oz each) Old El Paso® chopped green chiles
1
can (10 3/4 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
1
can (10 oz) Old El Paso® green enchilada sauce or other green chile enchilada sauce
1/4
cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
12
corn tortillas (6 inch), cut into 3/4-inch strips
3
cups shredded cooked chicken
1
can (15 oz) Progresso® black beans, drained, rinsed
2
cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (8 oz)
2
large tomatoes, chopped (about 2 cups)
2
cups chopped lettuce
1/2
cup sour cream

To Make:

  • 1Spray 3- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. In cooker, spread 1 can of the green chiles. In medium bowl, mix remaining can of green chiles, the soup, enchilada sauce and mayonnaise.
  • 2Arrange 1/3 of the tortilla strips over chiles in cooker. Top with 1 cup of the chicken, 1/2 cup of the beans, 1/2 cup of the cheese and 1 cup of the enchilada sauce mixture, spreading to edges of cooker to completely cover tortilla strips. Repeat layers twice, reserving last 1/2 cup of cheese.
  • 3Cover; cook on Low heat setting 6 to 7 hours.
  • 4Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Cover; cook about 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Serve with tomatoes, lettuce and sour cream.

Tips:

Rotisserie chicken works well for this recipe. Just remove the skin and bones, and shred the meat with 2 forks. One average rotisserie chicken yields about 3 1/2 to 4 cups cooked chicken.

Red enchilada sauce can be used. It will give a pink tint to the finished recipe.

You could serve this recipe with tortilla chips as an appetizer.

USER Tip- This is a good recipe, but it doesn't take near 6 hours to cook. Maybe 3, but the tortillas come out too soft it its cooked too long. But otherwise the dish has a great flavor!

Times: 6 hours
