Slow-Cooker Enchiladas

[ssba]

Have enchiladas waiting on you when  you get home from work…
IMG_5342aI love a good enchilada casserole baked in the oven, but lately we have been so busy after school, I don’t really have time to make one.  I also love the thought of having my slow-cooker cooking away while we are out going from one activity to the next.  I love the smell of cooked food waiting on me when I get home.  What mom doesn’t??
I found this recipe in Cooking with Paula Deen magazine (January/February 2009), and I knew I had to give them a try.  They came out great garnished with sour cream and fresh green onions.
So on your busy weeknights, go ahead and give this one a try.

Recipe:
(adapted from Cooking with Paula Deen)
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
2-3 tbsp chopped jalapenos
salt and pepper or seasoned salt
12 flour tortillas (torn into pieces)
1 28 oz. red enchilada sauce
2 1/2 cups shredded cheese
sour cream
green onions
*Slow cooker liner

Brown ground beef, onion, and garlic.   Season with salt and pepper or seasoned salt.  Stir in jalapenos.  Drain fat.  Line slow cooker with a slow cooker liner.  Layer one-third of tortillas in bottom of slow cooker.  Top with 1/2 beef mixture, half enchilada sauce, and 1 cup of cheese.  Repeat layers of tortillas, beef, and cheese.  Finish off with last third of tortillas and remaining cheese.  Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or until hot and bubbly.  Garnish with sour cream and green onions.
Enjoy!!

    These sound wonderful – I’ve never made enchiladas in the crockpot before! That sounds so good though!! Thanks for the tip! 🙂

    What about if you don’t have slow cooker liners? Can this be made without them?

      Oh yes you can definitely do this without a liner. Those just make for super duper easy clean up! Thanks for visiting Danie!!

    5 to 6 hours on low seems like a really long time! Wouldn’t the edges be burned?

      Hi Laura! I always use a slow cooker liner to help with this. You can always check them around 4 hours if you are worried your slow cooker will do this. The edges will cook more than the rest, but I don’t usually have a problem with burning. Thanks for visiting!

      Hi! I have not tried them in this recipe, but I’m sure you can use corn tortillas if that is what you prefer. Thanks for visiting!

    First, I want to thank you for answering my question; so many times I ask a question on other sites I do not get a reply back.
    When I find a recipe that I like; I copy and paste it to word program and save it in the recipe folder on that program. I always like to note the Servings, Prep. Time and Cook Time. Plus, Nutrition Information if I can. Plus, if I give it to someone that way hopefully, they will have most of the information they might need. I also, have a folder for recipe sites and yes your site is now on it.
    Have a good week-end and a safe 4th of July.

    Delicious easy meal ! Didn’t add the sour cream to reduce calorie count and it was still good.
