CREAMY CHICKEN ENCHILADAS



Creamy Chicken Enchiladas image

This is a personal tweak on the Campbell's recipe for Chicken Enchiladas. This does make (2) 13X9 pans of good homemade enchiladas, one to eat and one to save for later. For the most part you can give or take on the measurements of the ingredients like more cheese less picante sauce, its all up to you and your family's taste. And I chose to use enchilada sauce on one pan and the remaining filling on the other. In the future I would only top them with enchilada sauce as my family liked that pan better. This is a really large recipe, so feel free to tone it down, I always end up making way too much of something because we always like leftovers, they sure don't hurt a budget. But this is how I made them.
