Enchilada Casserole

When I asked my husband this weekend, if he had any specific dinners he wanted me to fix this week he requested enchilada casserole.  I haven't made it in at least 3 years so I was nervous as to whether I would remember how to make it even.  It turned out great and it was another meal that even Ben (my picky little boy) ate.



Enchilada Casserole



Ingredients:

1 small onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 can black beans, drained
1 tbsp butter
Salt
Pepper
Garlic Powder
2 chicken breast, cooked and shredded
1 can enchilada sauce
flour tortillas
shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
In a skillet, over medium heat, saute the onion and green pepper in the butter for about 5 minutes.  When done, pour the onions and peppers into a mixing bowl and season with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then mix in the black beans.
In a separate mixing bowl, mix the shredded chicken with most of the can of enchilada sauce.
In a greased casserole dish, cover the bottom with tortillas, then cover with the bean and veggie mixture.  Cover the top with cheese and then place another layer of tortillas over the top.  Next, add the chicken mixture and another layer of cheese.  Cover the top with one more layer of tortillas and cover the tortillas with  the last of the enchilada sauce followed by a final layer of cheese.
Bake for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is melty and the sauce is bubbling.


 (It can be a little messy when scooping it out of the pan, but it tastes delicious.  We covered ours with some sour cream.)

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
