"I created these enchiladas to satisfy several picky eaters in our house," explains Stacy Cizek of Conrad, Iowa. "They were an instant hit and are now requested at least once a week. I especially like that we can enjoy this meal twice by freezing half for a later (and busier) day."

I have been making this close to 8 years. Everybody I make this for just loves it. It is so easy to do. I could easily make this twice a month and my hubby would be happy.
