Slow Cooker Enchilada Stack

The easiest enchiladas you will ever make. Simply turn on your crockpot and forget all about it until you have the cheesiest, creamiest enchiladas ever!

My slow cooker and I have become very good friends this fall season. I’m not sure how it came to be but just last year, I think I made about 3 recipes in the Crock-Pot and called it a year.

But now, I’ve made 10 slow cooker recipes in the last month, and I have many, many, many more to come.

 I may just be making up for lost time since I only started to use my slow cooker about 2 years ago.

Although I can’t help but think where the art of slow cooking has been my entire life as you can pretty much make anything and everything in a Crock-Pot.

Like these epic enchiladas. Yes, believe it or not, you can make enchiladas effortlessly in a Crock-Pot. It’s so easy, it’s practically fool-proof.

All you have to do is ground up some beef and stir in your veggies. That’s it! There’s absolutely no rolling or stuffing here.

What’s left from there is turning on your Crock-Pot. It doesn’t get easier than that!
