Creamy Cheesy Gooey Enchilada Casserole Recipes

CREAMY CHICKEN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Combine sour cream, cream of chicken soup, diced tomatoes, green chiles, salsa, and salt in a large bowl. Spread 1/3 of the mixture in the bottom of the baking dish.
• Lay 3 tortillas on top of the mixture. Split a fourth tortilla in half and place it on the sides, covering the mixture fully. Sprinkle 1/3 of the chicken, olives, Monterey Jack cheese, and queso fresco on top. Repeat twice more with remaining ingredients, ending with cheese on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 45 minutes.

CREAMY CHEESY GOOEY ENCHILADA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat oven to 350.
• 2. Place both chicken breasts in a pot of boiling water with spices of your choice, I always add two dried chili peppers and some pepper flakes but you could do it without that easily. Boil for about an hour until the chicken is cooked through and will easily pull apart with a fork!
• 3. Get this chicken out of the pot and shred it on a cutting board. Drain the water from the pot and put the chicken back.
• 4. Mix in the 8 oz of sour cream and 1-2 cups of the shredded cheese depending on how cheesy you like it. We like it cheesy in this house!
• 5. Then pull out whatever baking dish size or shape you have that best fits. In the bottom, pour some of the enchilada sauce until it completely coats the bottom to prevent sticking.
• 6. Let the layering begin!! Lay down the tortillas to cover the bottom of the pan (I usually have 4 per layer with the pans I use). Then a thin layer of the refried beans (I've found it easier to do the bean spreading if you heat the beans up prior).
• 7. Then a layer of the cheesy/sour cream/chicken mixture.
• 8. At this point, you can add olives or tomatoes or anything else you want and then top with a layer of the enchilada sauce. Another layer of tortillas and repeat until you've just barely reached the top of the dish!
• 9. Finish with a layer of tortillas and cover that with JUST the remaining cheese and sauce. Cover with some aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Take the foil off and bake for another 5-10 until its gooey and bubbly.
• 10. Cut up and serve! We always add extra sour cream to the top at the end! Enjoy :)
