Easy Chicken Enchilada Casserole is a shortcut, make ahead meal. It’s just what you need when it’s time for back to school!
My family wishes the summer could last forever. We need our kids to help us on the farm, we love having them around, and they’d rather work on the farm than go to school anyway.
Back to school brings a whole new level of crazy busy. It’s almost like we are forced into having a schedule because the kids have piano lessons, and homework, and chores. We have to balance that back to school schedule with the hectic summer “no schedule” on the farm. It’s fair to say that our schedule is brutal until we complete our harvest in the fall.
Being able to make a weeknight dinner, stick it in the fridge, and go on with my day makes helping do algebra homework in evenings much easier! So whether you need a make ahead so you can be a substitute tractor driver since your kids are in school and can’t drive it, or whether it’s your turn to drive the preschool carpool, or volunteering in the classroom this Easy Chicken Enchilada Casserole will make you life easier and yummier!

Soooooo want to try this recipe. But I HATE BLACK BEANS. Could I possibly replace them with refried beans and just layer them into the dish.
Amy Engberson says
Yes! You could use refried beans and layer them in the dish. Or you could use any other kind of beans…pinto, red beans, kidney beans, or even navy or great northern beans. Let me know how it turns out!

I am a usually make things from scratch girl. With a covid-inspired influx of canned chicken, I tried it cautiously. IT IS AMAZINGLY tasty, and easy to make. I will definitely be entering this recipe in the regular rotation!!
Amy Engberson says
This year we’ve definitely started cooking with whatever cans we have sitting on our shelves. I’m so happy this recipe was a winner at your house! Casseroles are a perfect place to use canned chicken!

This looks so delicious. We had something very similar for dinner last night. Tastes the same without all the rolling in traditional enchiladas. #client
