ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy!
DeleteThis looks wonderful, perfect to serve even my daughters, who are not LCers, thank you!
ReplyDeleteI'm the only LC in my house and all of my carb-etarian family liked this one! I hope yours does too.
DeleteSounds delicious!! Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteI made this tonight, it was pretty good! A little too spicy and salty for me, but I used my own taco seasoning mix, not your recipe, and had bought the medium green enchilada sauce, so will have to go mild next time.
ReplyDeleteThis is the kind of dish I love. I love green enchilada sauce.
ReplyDeleteMy family lurved it! Boys went back for seconds. It's a keeper!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you all enjoyed it!
DeleteThis has become a staple recipe in our home, as well as the red sauce beef recipe. We like this one best definitely not too spicy for us and in fact I use pepper cheese in place of the cheese the recipe calls for both in the crust and on top. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that everyone in your home are enjoying these recipes!
DeleteI made this last night and it is sooo good! I definitely plan to try the original Enchilada Bake recipe, and also am going to use the crust for pizza. Thank you for the wonderful recipes!!!!
ReplyDeleteI made this today and we loved it! Comfort food at it's best. Thank you for all the awesome recipes.
ReplyDeleteLoved this. I shredded chicken breast and used packaged Taco seasoning because it all I had. I also only used about 4 oz cheddar on the "crust" and I used 4oz pepper jack and 4 oz mozzarella. I used mild green sauce, besides these minor changes, I followed the recipe. I served with chopped onion and sour cream. SO GOOD, HUSBAND LOVED IT.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful recipe! My new favorite. No changes made or needed! My husband is in love with this dish! Thank you, thank you!
ReplyDeleteOmg. This was unfreakingbelievable. Used ground beef the second time and was just as good. Highly highly recommend using her taco seasoning mix. So delicious.
ReplyDeleteI substituted green chile powder for the regular chili powder and used my own home made green chile sauce, instead of the green enchilada sauce and green chiles. Very good! Now I can't wait to try the red enchilada casserole!
ReplyDeleteI stumbled literally upon you're recipes and I love it! My whole family dose and it's now in our weekly rotation and I do use the crust for this to make a pizza casserole and it's yummy. I just leave out the taco seasoning and add garlic pinion powder and dried herbs. It's wonderful!! Thanks for this recipe!
