Mexican Cornbread Casserole

A simple crowd pleaser. This was on my husband's "you should get this recipe from my mother" list. It's really easy to alter to your own personal tastes. Don't like beans? Leave them out. Love olives? Add some. Have fun! -- posted by jennijen

Mexican Chicken Casserole

Cabin Mexican Casserole

Mon, 27 Aug 2007 22:15:35 -0400

I found this delicious recipe in a Southern Living Cookbook that I made a few minor tweaks to. This is a crowd pleaser that is very filling. You can use Spicy Enchilada Sauce if you want to make it really spicy though we find the mild sauce gives it enough kick. -- posted by Rebelgirl23

Pork and Brown Rice Green Chile Casserole

Super Tasty Lite Mexican Chicken Casserole

Wed, 29 Aug 2007 11:21:58 -0400

This is one of my most requested "chicken stuff" recipes. I found it in the Cooking Light magazine (around 1998). Most of my friends don't even know that it is a ligher version of a rich calorie laden recipe because it is so tasty. I usually serve with a mixed green salad and my version of Mexican rice. This is great left over cold or hot! -- posted by ~*Sue*~Chef

Turkey-Chile Casserole

Sun, 02 Sep 2007 15:55:21 -0400

This is an old favorite of ours. I use it for ladies' luncheons, and family meals or family gatherings. Very useful and versatile. It is good made with leftover Thanksgiving turkey or with poached or deli chicken meat. I usually like to add a larger can of diced green chilies (7 ounces). I do not butter my tortillas in order to lower the fat content and the resuts are just as satisfactory. However that step was part of the original recipe so I have left it in, listing it as optional. The recipe came from BH&G. -- posted by Lorraine of AZ

Easy Beef Enchiladas

Wed, 19 Sep 2007 16:31:43 -0400

This is your basic enchilada, you may take these to another level by adding in other ingredients to the ground beef, like corn, cooked rice, green bell pepper, jalapeño pepper --- you may also adjust the olives and cheese to taste ---make certain to have the ground beef filling still hot when filling the tortillas, or the enchiladas will take longer to bake and will get soggy, baking time should be no more than 20 minutes or just enough to heat up the dish --- see my recipe#76616 and recipe#168653 -- posted by KITTENCAL

Mexican Taco Casserole

Wed, 19 Sep 2007 21:02:38 -0400

Red Velvet Enchilada Sauce

Tue, 30 Oct 2007 00:34:29 -0400

This recipe was given to me by a co-worker, who received it from his mother-in-law. I was planning on making enchiladas one night, and happened to show this co-worker the recipe that I was planning on using for the sauce. He promptly told me to hold off before using that recipe because he had the ultimate enchilada sauce recipe. He was right, this is excellent, but not for the faint of heart, it turns out pretty spicy, but boy is it flavorful! The original recipe had 1 cup of rice milk where I used heavy cream, and a lot less of it. Make this vegan by substituting with the rice milk, and if you aren't a fan of hot food but still want to use heavy cream just use a little more to cut the heat. This recipe makes about 4 cups, but it's not a bad idea to double the recipe and then freeze what you don't use for next time. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did. -- posted by I Cook Therefore I Am

Southwest Black Bean and Corn Enchiladas

Wed, 31 Oct 2007 01:29:41 -0400

I searched and searched for a black bean enchilada recipe that sounded good to me and couldn't find one so I made one up. A few pointers with this recipe it's really easy and you can change it to your tastes. We like to top these with lettuce, tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, guacamole, sour cream, and shoot just about anything else in the fridge that sounds good. Use your favorite salsa, use more or less sour cream, leave the corn, add more bell pepper, really it's up to your but we really really liked these. Hope you do too! -- posted by I Cook Therefore I Am

Tex Mex Chicken Corn Melt

Sooo...I read all the fabulous posts on Tex Mex pies and casseroles and came up with this....husband LOVED it, but he is not picky...would love feedback, good or bad!! Plenty of subs in this recipe...use green chiles in place of banana peppers or any diced can of tomatoes in place of Rotel. I created this based on what I had on hand that smacked of Tex Mex.... -- posted by Chef JenR

Mexican-Style Beef Casserole

Tue, 13 Nov 2007 02:28:43 -0500

From: "The Bean Cookbook" by Norma S. Upson (1982). Hearty and filling. Brown rice usually takes about 45 minutes so I'm including that in the cooking time. *If you would like some heat or a chile flavor consider adding tabasco, jalapenos or diced mild green chilies. I just made this with salsa instead of tomatoes and added black pepper. I was very pleased with the results. A simple flavored hearty meal. I'm used to mexican dishes having cumin and it may work with this but I liked it being different and it may appeal to people who don't like cumin. I think black olives and bell pepper would be good in it too. Some people may also want to add layers of cheese but I was really surprised at how good it was without it. To cut down the fat more you could cook the onions with the ground beef and skip the butter. -- posted by Engrossed

A simple "dump it all in together" recipe. You can use chicken breasts, or, for more flavor, a whole boned chicken. I bone the chicken a day ahead to save prep time on cooking day. The canned green chilies are very mild. This freezes beautifully. Wonderful pot luck dish. -- posted by mammamia #2

Chicken or Beef Enchilada Casserole

Sun, 23 Dec 2007 18:16:30 -0500

The inspiration for this recipe is a beef enchilada casserole from a restaurant. They use beef, which would be excellent in this dish, but I prefer to use chicken and often substitute leftover cooked chicken which I have shredded or ground. Using half the amount of chopped green chilies and of chili powder makes for a less hot and spicy taste. Enchilada sauce is replaced in this recipe by stewed tomatoes and tomato sauce -- definitely an improvement! -- posted by WV Mermaid

These are a favorite of mine and my family - a fresh tasting medium spicy enchilada. I often double (or even triple) the recipe when I need to bring a meal to a friend. Originally from Southern Living magazine. I like to use the salty, juicy breast meat of a rotisserie chicken. To make them milder, use plain Monterrey Jack cheese, to make them divine, use Chipotle Jack...yummmmm! I often make them in the morning, place in the fridge then pop in the oven when company gets here. -- posted by Nanners

For a lighter version, use lowfat cheeses. -- posted by Jim C.

Roast Beef Sour Cream Enchiladas

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 23:41:52 -0400

This is a great use for leftover or even canned roast beef and standard pantry/refrigerator items. The original recipe had melted butter poured over everything, but we found this to be unnecessary. There's no enchilada sauce or canned soups in this recipe and while it can be a bit time consuming, it's very, very simple. Also simply delicious! A favorite in our house since I was a very young girl. *Special note: We have been making this with low fat sour cream and cheese and heating the tortillas in the microwave to soften to cut the fat content. It turns out just fine. -- posted by Morgorond

Okay, I have made this in the past for "Mexican" night & poker nights... but then we had this again a few weeks ago at a friends party and just had to post the recipe for easy access & safe keeping. There are several recipes out there for this casserole, but they are all different. This one has no eggs (which seems to be hard to find) and uses only 5 ingredients. It's so easy to make but always a crowd pleaser - try it at a BBQ, alongside chili, or as a Holiday side-dish... PS- I make a double batch & bake in a 9x13x2 casserole dish. Also, if you add about 3/4 cup of sugar to this, you could serve it as a dessert :-) -- posted by BlondieItaliana

Tue, 05 Aug 2008 20:45:44 -0400

When living in New Mexico, I learned the difference in New Mexican food from Mexican food. Here is my version of the great food that region of the country serves. The green chilies are a must and do not make the dish too spicy for those who cannot tolerate spicy foods. Notes You can also use corn or wheat tortillas if you prefer. You can alter the amounts of ingredients to taste, but I found this works best. Offer additional toppings such as shredded lettuce, salsa, and sour cream to complete this great dish! Let me know how you like it! -- posted by Suza2n

Chef Tom's Mexican Meatloaf

Mon, 12 Jan 2009 01:07:58 -0500

I like meatloaf because it is easy to make, and allows you to add things to enhance flavor and stretch your pound of ground beef. Also, if you are missing an ingredient, you can play around with something else and it usually works out alright. I started looking at alternatives to some of the standard ingredients (i.e. bread crumbs), and thought that a taco style meatloaf would be a hit. When making this dish, feel free to experiment. If you like it really hot, add some green chilies! -- posted by Chef Thomas S.

Poblano peppers stuffed with black beans, cheese and cornmeal, from Martha Stewart Everyday Food, April 2008. I've mostly just stolen this recipe from marthastewart.com, but added a few tips. If the poblanos are a little flattish, be sure to slice the peppers so that they they form a deep "pocket" to stuff. Be sure to use a reasonably good cheese. If you can't find good quality pepper jack, use plain Monterey Jack or cojack cheese and be sure to include the minced pepper. Cook time includes cooling time. -- posted by Podkayne

This casserole offers south of the border flavor in one dish. You can adjust the amount of chili powder to your taste. My family likes this casserole because of the frankfurters. I hope you like it. -- posted by mommyoffour

Cinco De Mayo Chicken Casserole

When I wasn't able to get to the market for Cinco de Mayo, I came up with this recipe. You can use fresh corn and bell peppers. There is certainly room for improvements, but I was impressed with the flavors. Serve with a great salad with Salsa Ranch dressing. -- posted by ReneeT

Mexican Chicken Lasagna

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 01:38:46 -0400

I first had this at a pot luck at work. Got the recipe from a friend but decided it needed some tweaking. You may add as much heat as you like or keep it toned down. Add taco toppings too if you like when serving. It does take a little work but in the end it pays off. Note: You won't use all the reserved broth. There is a large amount saved just to make sure you have enough. The chicken soup in this recipe is the creamy color one not the yellow. In place of the chips you can use taco shells broken in halves. Or you can use the Corn tortillas, omit softening them. Using the chips give more corn flavor. Prep time does not include prep time for chickens. -- posted by KGCOOK

Southwest Tortilla Casserole

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 14:23:14 -0400

This is a twist on a taco casserole. I love to create in the kitchen. I made this last night, and the family loved it, so I thought I would jot it down while it is still fresh in my mind. This does have a kick to it and I would suggest that if you don't like spicy you can modify to your taste. I hope you enjoy as much as we did. -- posted by singn8

This is a wonderfully easy recipe for a yummy dish that was passed on to me by my mother-in-law. My husband can eat these leftovers for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (if there is any left)! I usually serve this with Spanish rice, corn, and a salad with ranch dressing. -- posted by IndianMama

Fiesta Chicken Torte

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:11:22 -0500

From Company's Coming - made it for dinner tonight and I loved it, especially since it didn't have any canned soup in it like many similar ones. The only change I made from the original is that I prefer black beans to kidney beans and I added more cumin and chili powder than this states as I like it spicier. -- posted by Cadillacgirl

Cream of Chicken Enchiladas

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:51:44 -0500

This is a great recipe that a friend of mine has been bringing to office pot-lucks for years. I just got the recipe from him and made it myself. It's a unique and pretty decadent twist on traditional enchiladas. You can adjust the amount of green chiles and jalapenos to your particular taste. This recipe carries a little bite, but is not particularly hot (even using green chiles rated HOT). To pep it up, use 3 cans of green chiles and 2 cans of jalapenos. For potlucks or freezing, double or triple this recipe. -- posted by Chef #1534395
