Easy Chicken Enchilada Casserole Recipe

If you're short on time, but want to make a dish that your family will love—-and even think you've slaved over it---make this easy Chicken Enchilada Casserole Recipe. It only has five ingredients, corn tortillas, cooked and shredded chicken, shredded cheese, refried beans and enchilada sauce.

I always store leftover chicken in one cup bags in the freezer. The frozen chicken slices can be grated easily or allowed to thaw and shredded. As far as the cheese goes, even though it's more expensive, I buy and always have on hand shredded cheese in a bag.

I hate cleaning cheese off the grater, it sticks and requires far more effort than I care to expend, so I opt for the convenience over the few extra cents it costs. Both the enchilada sauce and refried beans are purchased. Seriously, I don't think I've ever made my own refried beans....Let me think for a minute....Once I refried refried beans, but never made them from scratch.

I've never tried to bake this one on the grill, with the lid down, but maybe I will this summer. I just haven't had time to have a potential failure that requires me starting from scratch. Since most of these ingredients are already precooked, it's more of a matter of heating them together to create the mixture of tastes, so I think it will be a success.

The hardest part of this easy enchilada casserole is preventing your family from finding out it only takes a few minutes. I try to clear the house lest they find it's so easy or make it before anyone gets home, then splash my forehead with water and act as though I'm working so hard I've worked up a sweat.

You spray the bottom of a baking dish to prevent sticking, preheat the oven, put some of the enchilada sauce on the bottom in a thin layer. Spread half the re-fried beans, top with more corn tortillas, add chicken and cheese then top with more sauce.

Add another layer of each and top with tortillas and then shredded cheese. Bake it for twenty minutes and serve with Mexican rice. It's easy and delicious, the best combination I can imagine.
