I was skeptical because of the canned soup, but I'm convinced: this was DELICIOUS! Husband and teenage son enjoyed it too. A big keeper!

Wonderful! My husband (of 43 years) was most pleased with the dinner- both times!

Made this tonight to rave reviews from the family. I had a few substitutions, but not because I was feeling adventurous, but rather was making do with what was already in the pantry. Diced tomatoes w/o chiles, condensed Nacho cheese soup and 12 oz container of whipped cream cheese. I don't know how long the tray in the freezer will last... probably only a week or so before I bake it. :)

This is a fantastic recipe. I prepared it exactly as written and it turned out great! Thank you for the specific instructions about how much sauce to reserve for the top and how much filling to put in each tortilla. Sounds silly, but I always end up too generous with some enchiladas and less generous with others. I'm expecting a baby in February and I can't wait to make these again as my due date gets closer so I can freeze a pan for those crazy newborn days. Thanks again for an awesome recipe!

We loved this recipe. I used chopped chicken breasts that I had cooked as I didn't have a rotisserie chicken on hand when I decided to make it. It was just my husband and I plus our daughter was visiting so instead of making both casseroles, I "rolled" just half of it and put the chicken and soup mixtures in the freezer so that it didn't take up as much room as a casserole dish. It will be a chich to finish it up next time for another wonderful, easy meal.

My husband just loves this! I like that it makes two pans so when I don?t feel like cooking all I have to do is pull the extra pan out of the freezer for dinner. Everyone who tries it loves it.

Everyone loved this. I haved the recipe and I made my own cream of chicken & cheddar cheese soup. This will be made again.

Yummy! The entire family loved this and I too like that there is a second casserole in the freezer to serve later. Served this with shredded lettuce on top and refried beans on the side. My hubby said he has never had a better enchilada.
