Easy Meat and Corn Enchilada Casserole

I love cooking a big batch of meat in the slow cooker, pulling it apart while it's warm and tender, and then using the meat throughout the week. Cook once and eat on it all week is my kind of meal prep! This recipe is just perfect for any kind of meat that you have already shredded and in the fridge. You can use shredded beef, pork, chicken, or even lamb. You can't really go wrong with any of those meats in an enchilada bake with lots of homemade green enchilada sauce. If you aren't cooking the meat yourself, this would be a great use from some extra rotisserie chicken.

If your meat is already prepared, this dish really comes together in a snap. Instead of rolling a bunch of individual enchiladas, I just made this dish layered like a lasagna. Some people call this kind of thing "enchilada stack" or "layered enchiladas" - no matter what you call it, it tastes greats and is easy to make.

Why I Love this Enchilada Recipe

It's easy, pretty, gluten-free, and WONDERFUL! I think more things in life should involve tortillas and cheese, and this is my effort to share that love with you. When you make that green enchilada sauce (it's super easy, just throw everything in a blender!), plan on a double batch. It stores really well in the freezer. I like to use it in this recipe but it's also a great addition to traditional and white chicken chili. It packs a lot of flavor and is one of my favorite things to add to a pot of chili this time of year.

You can throw just about anything on the top. Sometimes I'll do this with avocado and tomatoes. It's great with green onions, some black olives and sour cream, or you can add some shredded lettuce and homemade pico when you are serving it. It's up to you - just use what you like best and have on hand.

Thomas just finished putting the roof trusses on the garage yesterday! I think we have officially finished framing the exterior walls of our house, which feels so exciting. We still have roofing and sheeting to put on the outside, but all the outside walls are done! Now we get to think about our wrap-around porch, which is going to be a big project but dreamy when it's done. We just ordered triple-pane windows that will be here the first week or December too. Slow and steady, but it is surely moving along. Wish us luck and enjoy this great dinner, from my home to yours.
