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 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!

Just made this tonight for supper! Rave reviews from the hubby! Very tasty, will be making it again! I used ground turkey and was still very good! Thanks for this quick easy recipe!!! Only took 4 hours in the crockpot!

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.

I have made this recipe since it appeared in the Best of Slow Cooker Recipes in 2009;It is by far the BEST! I do have some suggestions however: we use ground turkey instead of beef(and sometimes ground venison), add more cumin, utilize my 4 qt. Crock (instead of 5 qt) so it makes for a nice presentation,add 1 can (15oz) diced tomatoes (instead of the 10oz can) and cook on Low 4 hrs.

Great recipe! I always substitute a can of chili beans (undrained) for the kidney beans & I add a clove of garlic, minced, to the beef & onions when I'm browning them. We serve with tortilla chips, salsa, & guacamole - Delicious!
