So, there is this enchilada recipe that has been in my family for quite a while, and I LOVE it! The only problem is that it takes quite a while to make, so it's not the most handy recipe for most busy days. Growing up, I always loved eating my grandmother's enchiladas on special occasions. I found a recipe for an enchilada casserole that is a lot quicker to make, and it tastes similar to my grandmother's recipe! I love this recipe for bringing the taste of my favorite family enchiladas to something a lot quicker to make :) Enjoy!
