As a busy wife and mother of two young sons, I rely on this handy recipe. I layer enchilada ingredients in the slow cooker, turn it on and forget about it. With a bit of spice, these hearty enchiladas are especially nice during the colder months. -Mary Luebbert, Benton, Kansas

I made this recipe recently. We all loved it. My dad, who is my tester, thought my mom would not like it because she does not like spicy food, but this was not that spicy and she liked it. For me though, it was missing something! I love this type of food.

My crockpot is an older 5 qt round that my mom and dad got when they got married. The tortillas we use, for just about everything, are from a local restaurant. They are fairly thin, BUT they work well for everything. I also used extra cheese and mine came out perfectly. I didn't bother with trying to get the whole thing out. Instead, I used a large cooking spoon and cut it out and placed on plates. We are thinking of using Churizo the next time I make this and possibly some extra spices.

This is similar to Mexican Lasagna I have made in the past.

I have used this recipe from the first time I saw it. We love it, I make a large batch of the chili mixture the day before. We enjoy it that day and they two or three days later. I use the leftovers in the slow cooker recipe. Its great!

We love this and it is a regular meal at our house. I use a big nylon KitchenAid spoon and serve from the crockpot. This just makes it easier and keeps from scratching to dish.

I used most of the suggetions, and adjusted the ingredients to what I had on hand and what my Family prefers. I also cooked it in the oven, at 375, for about 45 minutes. It was AMAZING! I fed 8 hungry people with a little left over.

This is worth the prep time! Thanks to the previous suggestions, I doubled the chili powder and the cumin. I also doubled the cheese. I substituted Mexican tomatoes in place of the diced tomatoes w/green chilies. I laid folded-up strips of tin foil in the slow cooker which kind of looks like bicycle spokes when I'm done, leaving a little of each "spoke" hanging outside the slow cooker. This makes it very easy to pull out the entire meal and transfer to a plate (like shown in the picture). Next time I'll omit the kidney beans, and just use the black beans. Please note: I only cooked this for 4 hours, and it was perfect. (Slow cookers cook much faster now than they did back in 1998, which is when this recipe was published.) -Lori in WI.

The filling for this was very good, but the tortillas became very soggy. Maybe if not done in the slow cooker they would hold up better.
