If you’ve been reading my blog, you know that cooking is not one of my favorite things to do. I will occasionally share a recipe but only if it meets three requirements: one: quick and easy to make, two: tastes really good and three: doesn’t require making a huge mess, because I am the messiest cook ever! That is probably the biggest reason why I don’t like to cook: the mess. I hate washing dishes and I think that comes from growing up in a large family without a dishwasher and being on dish washing detail all those years! That, and it’s really not my “thing”. I’d much rather have a paint brush in my hand than a spoon, but cooking is necessary. I mean you can’t order out EVERY day, right?
So when the opportunity came up to make a quick and easy meal using Kraft Recipe Makers, I jumped on it. After all, most of the cooking has been done. No gathering of ingredients and simmering sauces – it’s already been done. I like when cooking has already been done for me! And I like that you add your own fresh ingredients. No powdered this or dried up that!
I used the Verde Chicken Enchilada Kraft Recipe Makers to make a casserole. If you follow the directions on the back of the box, you will make individual enchiladas.
Always looking for a quick and easy way to cook, I decided to layer the ingredients to make a casserole.
Here’s how I made a delicious chicken enchilada casserole using Kraft Recipe Makers.
I combined the Creamy Ranchero Filling Sauce with four cups of cooked chicken. If I hadn’t already had the chicken, I would have bought a roasted chicken from the grocery store. I will definitely do that the next time I make this! You know, back to that someone else does the cooking part ; )
Next, I sprayed a casserole dish with cooking spray and then poured in one of the packs of the Tomatillo Finishing Sauces. I put down a layer of corn tortillas, then layered the chicken mixture, cheese and more finishing sauce. Then I repeated the same layers again: tortillas, chicken mixture, cheese and tomatillo sauce.
Doesn’t that look good? And it hasn’t even been baked yet! I baked it at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. I added a little more cheese during the last five minutes of baking.
My son walked in just as I was taking this out of the oven and he could barely wait until I got a serving on his plate to dig in!
He came back for seconds! This was really good and I will definitely be making this again. There aren’t any leftovers, so I won’t be having this for lunch today! I’m anxious to try the other varieties of Kraft Recipe Makers. Have you tried them yet? Which one is your favorite?

You sure have cute dishes for not being a cook!!! 🙂 That looks tasty.
Thanks Lori! Thank goodness for the helper-like products or I wouldn’t cook at all ; )
