Slow-Cooker Layered Enchilada Dinner

More About This Recipe

• When you know you’ve got a busy day, you deserve to end it with a great dinner. With a little advanced planning — this recipe takes 30 minutes to prep — you can come home to slow-cooker enchiladas. The five-hour cook time gives the flavors of this deluxe enchilada sauce time to blend, so the enchiladas, green chiles, garlic, onion and cream of mushroom soup becomes rich and complex. The sauce softens the tortillas, too, but not so much so that the dish turns rubbery. The chunks of ground beef, chewy tortillas and silky smooth sauce make for a nicely balanced texture. So, you end up with enchiladas that are creamy and deeply satisfying. If you’re feeling ambitious, this dish goes great with a simple salad of greens, avocado and mandarin oranges, or a side of cornbread. If not, we’re not judging, these enchiladas are filling enough to be a complete meal. Need an enchilada recipe that’s ready right now?
