How to Make Two Different Enchilada Casseroles

March 8, 2023      4 Comments

There are two food items I can say I love – enchiladas and casseroles! Actually, there are many more, but when you put these together, you have magic! My grandmother (Grace) gave me a recipe many years ago for what she called Stacked Enchiladas. Jay was inspired by this to make a sour cream chicken version. Read below to see how to make two different enchilada casseroles, both delicious in their own way.

Granny Grace’s Stacked Enchiladas

I do not have pictures of my grandmother’s dish, however, I do have her handwritten recipe – priceless!

Before I share the recipe, does anyone recognize the paper? She always kept a Big Chief Tablet on hand. It is only fitting that I have this recipe that she made frequently, on this paper. Now, on to the recipe!

Granny’s Stacked Enchiladas

.

Ingredients:

6 Corn Tortillas
2 1/2 Cups Grated Cheese
1 (10 oz.) Can of Enchilada Sauce

.

Filling:

2 Cups Cooked Chicken, Chopped Fine or
1 Lb. Ground Beef, Browned (Granny always used beef to my knowledge.)
1 Cup Sour Cream
1/4 Cup Chopped Green Onions
1/2 t. Salt

.

Directions:

Dip tortillas into the enchilada sauce and place in a 1 1/2 qt. casserole dish. Top with 3 or 4 tablespoons of the filling. Spread it over the tortillas. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup of the grated cheese.

.

Repeat layers, alternating the rest of the tortillas, filling, and cheese. Before adding the last layer of cheese, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over it all. Top with the remaining cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes or until good and done.

Jay’s Sour Cream Chicken Enchilada Casserole

Because we loved the Stacked Enchiladas so much, Jay was inspired to create a sour cream chicken version. He used the same method as the other dish but changed the ingredients. I know you will love this one too. Now you have two enchilada casseroles to choose.

Hello!

Hello!

Welcome! I believe homes and families should be filled with grace and joy! As I think about my life, I can see how my grandmother and my mom poured these beliefs into our home. How fitting that my grandmother's name was Grace and my mother's name is Joy. I hope to share the impact "Grace and Joy" have made on my life and in my home!
