Another meal for busy nights when we all are needing to eat supper at different times. I love that no one has to "heat up" their supper - it's ready when they are ! :-) Mr. H. loved it! And the leftovers the next day?? SO good!
looks good. thank you :)
ReplyDeleteThis will be a keeper in our house. We served ours with a dollop of sour cream! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. Yummm.
ReplyDeleteThis is the best crockpot recipe I think we have ever eaten. No empty bowls and with six of us that almost never happens. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMade these last night and I have to say I was skeptical when I turned on the crockpot. I was mistaken! They were so good and the tortillas really softened up. My husband said it was a winner! Served with SC and avocado. Even better the 2nd day!
ReplyDeleteThis is so delicious but I've never heard of ranch style beans. Can someone give me a clue or an alternative? Thank you
ReplyDeleteI have made this w a can o refried beans...still YUMMY
DeleteRanch Style Beans can be found in the canned bean section in any grocery store.
ReplyDeletedo you think it would work with Corn tortillas?
ReplyDeleteWhat size crock pot would I need to make this?
ReplyDeleteFound this on Pinterest today. Looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThis recipe looks wonderful! I'd love it if you submitted it to us here at Gooseberry Patch for possible inclusion in a new slow cooker cookbook. Just follow the link for simple directions! Thanks!

ReplyDeleteMade this last weekend...and i'm already making it again for a get together this weekend! Loved it! I couldn't find ranch beans though; so i used chili beans; turned out great still! Thank you!

I made your Enchilada Casserole tonight, its great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
i made this a few weeks ago per the recipe and it was a huge hit! loved it. last night i made it again but used green enchilada sauce and again, it was yum. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this. The whole family loves it (even the picky kids) Its so easy to pop in the crock pot and it's ready when we are.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try this. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHas anyone made it with corn tortillas? I'm scared of them coming out completely disintegrated.
ReplyDeleteI plan to try it with corn. My plan is to dip the in melted bacon grease or olive oil to protect them a bit.
DeleteI just tried this and it was AMAZING!!!! It was easy and quick to make, and made a ton of food. I know we'll be making it again soon. (I couldn't find Ranch beans either so I used Chili beans.)
ReplyDeleteThis looks so yummy and easy to make! Can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteMade this for dinner tonight, it was a huge hit. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't find ranch style beans, so I used pinto. I also added two cloves of garlic when I was cooking the onion and omitted the garlic powder.
Sadly, very little left over!
Would it work good with chicken n corn tortillas?
ReplyDeleteBig hit with my family! Will be making again.
ReplyDeleteI make homemade enchiladas and I have to say these look WONDERFUL!
ReplyDeleteMade this last night and it was delicious! Just had some leftovers for lunch!
ReplyDeleteMaking this right now :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks easy and good.
ReplyDeleteAnyone know what size tortillas to use? Also, crock pot size (5 qt round or 7qt oval are my options). Thanks
ReplyDeleteDo you think it would be ok with ground turkey instead of beef?

ReplyDelete***** (5-stars) I modified this delicious recipe using red, green and yellow peppers, black beans, green enchilada sauce, cheddar cheese, and corn tortillas. I used 4 torts per layer. I also seasoned the ground beef with the cummin, garlic, chili powder as I browned the beef as I wanted to cook those flavors into the meat.
ReplyDeleteMy family loved it, it's a keeper. It's one of the easiest meals to prepare. It's also easy to plan as all the ingredients are staples in our kitchen.
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for posting about corn tortillas!
DeleteMaking this for the third time tonight. Adding Mexicorn instead of beans for a twist. Smells super tasty! Thanks for the recipe!!
ReplyDeleteI JUST ate a bowl of these crock pot enchiladas that I made for the first time, and I rushed to my computer to comment after cleaning my plate. This is such a great recipe! VERY easy and a little variation on things certainly does not make or break it. I used black beans, whole wheat tortillas, and two mini red and yellow bell peppers because that is what I had on hand. I also used an entire 19 oz can of enchilada sauce rather than 15 ounces by mistake, but it came out WONDERFUL anyway despite all of the variations. Thanks for a great recipe!
ReplyDeleteThis was SO yummy!! We used corn tortillas, re-fried black beans, ground turkey and added 1/2 jar fire roasted green chilies. We also topped it with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt. Definitely a keeper! :) Thank you!
ReplyDeleteJust prepared mine and put it into the crock pot! It already smells delicious! My family can't wait to try them!
ReplyDeleteCould you explain what you mean by placing the enchiladas side by side in the crockpot? Silly I know, but I'm thinking that they would be on top of one another?
ReplyDeleteI am not understanding the side by side instructions as well. Just place one against each side of the crockpot?
ReplyDeleteI have not made this particular recipe but I do make "layered enchiladas" in the oven pretty often. I'm from Texas and Mexican food (Tex-Mex) is cooked in my house practically once a week.
ReplyDeleteFor the people asking about the tortillas, I'm pretty sure you can just lay the tortillas flat on the bottom of the crock pot but try not to over lap them. I have done a method like this in a casserole dish and depending on the shape/size you may have to cut peices to fit so the bottom is all covered.
I've substituted ground turkey in all kinds of recipes and I'm sure it'll be fine. It's much less greasey!
Also, "Ranch Style Beans" is a brand of beans. They are basically pinto beans in a sauce (a very yummy sauce!). They come in a black can and I've never had a problem finding them but maybe in different regions they are not as common? I get the Jalepeno kind and it adds a nice kick!
I've made these twice now. They're delicious! My husband and 3 year old daughter love them too. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHas anyone tried to freeze this?
ReplyDeleteMade this tonight and it was awesome. We had leftovers and I know they will be great as well. My daughter wants me to try corn tortillas (she doesn't like flour) so may give that a try. Not sure if I should fry first? This will be a go to recipe for me.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to trying this with my family! What is enchilada sauce? I live in Canada and have looked everywhere for this and cannot find it! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMade this today. It was delicious!! Thanks for the recipe
ReplyDeleteTried this on Christmas day (for supper) and it was great! Thank you for the easy recipe idea!
ReplyDeleteMade this for supper last night for the first time. I added fresh cilantro on top with a little sour cream. While eating, my husband said,"Make this again." Easy and taste so good! Thanks, I'll be making it again!
ReplyDeleteI have this in the crock pot right now. I changed up a few ingredients. I omitted the green pepper and used a can of chopped green chili's instead and used yellow corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas. Plan to add a dallop of plain greek yogurt(our sour cream substitute) upon serving. I also doubled the recipe to feed my large family. I can't wait for it to finish cooking.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful recipe, very yummy! thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteThis was yummy, thanks for sharing it. Will definitely make it again!
ReplyDeletethis recipe is so great!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting your recipe. I'm anxious to try it this week.
