Candy got this recipe from one of those little paper recipe books you can buy at the check-out... it quickly became a family favorite. Note: I have this aversion to canned chicken so I always boiled and shredded my own, but I'm told the canned chicken was fine.

FUNKY ENCHILADA CASSEROLE
My good friend brought this to me in the hospital after I had just had a baby. My husband promptly took it home and ate the entire thing without sharing. I had to remake it myself to find out what he'd been raving about. I've made a few adjustments and so can you according to your tastes! This is a great casserole to make because some of the canned ingredients you may already have. Serve with sour cream, hot sauce, and cold diced tomatoes or salsa if you like. Maybe even serve some chips and guacamole to round it out.
