Pretty good. I would prefer it to be spicier, so next time I will use the spicy tomatoes & green chilies and/or add some jalapenos.

I was looking for a twist on regular enchiladas and stumbled upon this slow cooker enchilada recipe. I did not have time to make it in the slow cooker so I assembled it in a 2 1/2 qt. CorningWare casserole. I seasoned and sautéed 3 cloves garlic (gotta love it), onion, and red pepper in olive oil before adding and cooking ground turkey (healthy). As for the bean mixture, I added about 2c. homemade salsa (1 lg. can petite diced tomatoes, red pepper, corn, garbanzo beans, chickpeas, black beans, tomatoes, green chiles, italian dressing, jalepenos, sweet and green onion, garlic, fresh squeezed lime juice, 1c. store bought salsa) 2 sm. cans red enchilada sauce, 1sm. can green chiles, 1/3 c. water, 1/2 t. cumin, 1/2 t. curry powder, 1/2 t. salt, and 1/2 t. black pepper. I used a plethora of shredded mild cheddar and swiss (not so healthy ;)) and layered according to the directions (meat/sauce mix, tortilla, cheese...as much as u can fit in the casserole. I wish i could make this stuff in a well.). I covered the masterpiece with foil and baked for 30-45 min. @ 375, then uncovered and baked another 5-8 min. To finish, I broiled until the top tortilla and cheese layer were crisped to perfection. Viola! My "selective" husband loved it...even with all those veggies;)

I made some changes to the recipe, but in the end it turned out DELICIOUS! I added quite a bit more cumin and chili powder, as well as more salt. I also added a tad more water and 2 cups more cheese. I cooked it on high for 1 hour and low for 1 hour. I used a crock pot liner and it leaked but cleaning up some grease was a lot easier than scraping food off the sides of the crock! I cut mine like a cake and served slices. I only had trouble removing 2 of the slices that were slightly scorched on the sides and stuck to the bag. Don't let this fool you, though. Even with some cheese scorching it still tasted wonderful. This recipe turned out a lot better than I expected! It was amazing!

This is my vegetarian daughter's requested birthday meal every year. I just saute the onion and pepper in a little olive oil and then proceed with the rest of the instructions. In summer I use fresh tomatoes and green chiles

Excellent recipe. I added large can of enchilada sauce and am glad I did or it would have been dry. I also added extra chili powder, cumin and threw in a few chopped jalepenos. To serve I topped w/ homemade guacamole, sour cream, shredded lettuce and salsa. Actually made 6+. Will make this often. Turned out just like the picture. I USED THE NEW CROCK POT LINERS FOR THE FIRST TIME AND THERE WAS NO MESS TO CLEAN UP.

I made this last night.  I cooked it on high for 2 hours and 15 minutes.  Part of the tortilla on the bottom layer got a little scorched. I have a Rival crockpot so that is probably why it scorched it.  Overall this is a good recipe.  I tend to like a little more kick to my food so I will use a little more chili powder the next time I make this.

Just take some aluminum foil and fold so you have three or four layers in a strip and make them probably two inches wide. Cut them so the go all the way across the bottom of the slow cooker and part way up the sides so you can reach them to lift out. You could run strips both ways and put your enchaladas on the strips. When done take all the ends of strips in both hands bring together over the enchiladas and lift carefully out. Be sure you have something next to the cooker to lay them on after removing. Good luck.

I think I have seen a recipe like this and they put strips of aluminum foil crossed in the cooker so you could lift it out. Never have tried it so don't know if it works!
