  1. Delicious! Great flavor and easy to make. It didn't turn "mushy" loke some crockpot casseroles; the layers held up. It's important to generously spray your crockpot. I used homemade enchilada sauce, so I spread a little extra over the last layer of tortillas (before the cheese). I was out of black olives so I had to leave them out, but I'll add them next time. Thanx for posting!
     
  2. This was GREAT!! Will make this often. Easy and warms up nicely. Thanks for sharing.
     
  3. This was very tasty. I left out the beans--don't like them in my family but kept everything else and added 2 chilis in adobo. I used my warming oven to slow cook this. Put on low for 5 hours, then went to high for one high. Kids loved this. Thanks for sharing. Easy to prepare and walk away from and let the slow cooker do all the work. Easy clean up, too.
     
  4. What a Fantastic meal! The recipe was easy to follow and the meal was top notch. It didn't burn on the bottom for me. I even cooked it for 10 hours on low. I loved the leftovers for my lunch. My family really enjoyed this recipe. Will put it in our keep recipe file.
     
  5. This was sooo good! I altered the recipe just a little. Instead of using 9 corn tortillas I used probably 24 or 30. I also fried the corns before putting them in the crock pot. So it had way, way more layers and filled the crock pot all the way up. Also, I think it would be just fine to simplify this recipie and skip the beef broth and tomato sauce and just add a second can of enchilada sauce. For beans I used 1 Goya Pinto and 1 Goya Black. This turned into a Mexican style lasagna that I would give 5 of 5 stars and have every intention of making again. Fantastic!
