FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Can this be made in the oven?<\/strong>

Yes. Follow the instructions below and instead of layering in the crock pot, you will layer in a 9\u00d713-inch baking dish (make sure it is a deep baking dish or this could overflow) and bake uncovered for about 30-35 minutes (until the potatoes are fork tender.)<\/p> <\/div>

Why add potatoes?<\/strong>

I know, it may sound crazy and not \u201cMexican food\u201d, but trust me, it really does work really well here. And let\u2019s be honest, this is in no way an authentic Mexican meal anyways \u2013 ha! You can leave them out here if you prefer. <\/p> <\/div>

What else can I add to the mix? <\/strong>

I was going to make this with two pounds of ground beef but it is just getting so expensive these days, so instead, I added the corns, beans and hash browns to fill it out without the added cost of more ground beef. Personally, I am just trying to get a few more veggies and fiber in my diet. You can certainly adjust this to your tastes and leave out what you don\u2019t like <\/p> <\/div>

What toppings can I try?<\/strong>

Add toppings to make it extra filling. Try: diced tomatoes, fresh jalapeno, minced fresh cilantro, avocado, cotija cheese, sour cream, hot sauce, salsa, etc.<\/p> <\/div>

What side dishes can I serve with this Enchilada Casserole?<\/strong>

I feel like this casserole is a whole meal in itself, but you can serve it with a salad and some steamed veggies. Keep it simple, grab a bagged salad and a bag of microwavable steamed veggies and call it a night. <\/p> <\/div>

How should I store leftovers?<\/strong>

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and can be kept in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. You could store them in a freezer safe container and keep them longer, for up to 3-6 months. <\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n
