Chicken Enchilada Casserole

Enchilada casserole is one of our favorites because it’s easy to make and a little bit goes a long way! A few ingredients, some prep steps, and it goes right in the oven! Or, assemble it in the morning and bake it later! Enchilada casseroles are great to take to potlucks, parties, or buffets because the servings can be any size the guest wants!
