Cheesy Enchilada Casserole

July 8, 2011 by Jaida 2 Comments

 

This week’s recipe swap theme was Mexican, and I got this recipe for Cheese Enchilada Casserole from Alida of Alida’s Kitchen. It was very easy to make, with only a few ingredients, and although I would definititely increase the amount of cheese (at least double), it tasted really good! I’m not usually a fan of cheese enchiladas, I prefer beef or chicken, but these were good enough to be put into rotation – you should try them!

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
