Layered Chicken Enchilada Casserole
This is really easy, and tastes good, too. Instead of rolling the enchiladas up, you simply layer everything in.

many recipes in the world that there is just no excuse for using one twice if it's not something you really enjoy. Now, whether the rest of the family enjoys them or not is another story, but I try to add special notes about who likes what.

Sounds too complicated.
We like our Lazy/Easy Enchilada Casserole.
We use some taco seasoned meat and mix it all up with some strips (torn or cut) of corn tortillas, shredded cheese, enchilada sauce, green chiles, and corn. My wife would put black olives in it, but I don't like those.
We top that with more cheese and put in the oven for about half an hour.
It's super easy. We usually use ground beef, but have also done it with cooked chicken or turkey.
I have an Lazy Mexican Casserole too! i think its basically what Craig does.
1 can refried beans
cooked taco meat, beef, chicken etc
green chilies, chopped onions, olives if you like them (yuck!) cilantro or other likely things if you have them
1 can pinto, black, adzuki, kidney, etc beans
salsa
shredded cheese
In casserole, cake pan, slow cooker, whatever (I use two 2 qt casserole dishes and freeze one for another day).
Layer all ingredients or, those that you have, in order listed, (refried beans first cuz its the only way you will get them as a layer).
Heat until bubbly, let sit for 10 minutes.
Serve with or without sour cream, fresh chopped onion and/or green pepper, tomato, cilantro, fresh salsa, shredded cheese
Scoop up with tortilla chips, serve over rice, fill soft tortillas, etc.
ha, I am going to try out my thought, your post bring me some good ideas, it's really awesome, thanks.
