After the massive success of my slow cooker Mexican breakfast casserole, I thought I'd try to make another recipe with corn tortillas. I dunno, it's something about the corn tortillas soaked in juices that make me think of delicious tamales. So I started with the basic idea of Β enchiladas this time and adapted it for the slow cooker.

As with most of my recipes, I make them as simple as possible. For the first step, you just need to saute your onion and then cook the ground beef in a skillet with salt, pepper, and the taco seasoning until done or almost done. I only use half an onion because I like to add just enough to add some flavor to the beef. Other people really enjoy having onion chunks, so if that's the case use a whole Β yellow onion.

Then add your other ingredients: corn, chipotle peppers, pinto beans (or black), one can of enchilada sauce, and cream of chicken soup. Oh, and don't forget the beer. Just a cup is enough, and it's a perfect amount because it leaves a bit left for you to drink while you're cooking.

Match the style of beer to the style of sauce! I used a red sauce so I used an amber ale. If you use a green sauce, a lighter beer like a Pilsner or blonde. Nothing with too much hop aroma or flavor (bitterness).

Now it's time to start working on your layering. Start with a layer of corn tortillas on the bottom. How many you use depends on how big they are. I bought the big yellow kind this time, so used only 3 per layer. With the smaller white ones I was using about 5 per layer. Enough to approximately cover the area is fine.

Then add your bean sauce layer, and top with cheese. Repeat until finished, and put a final layer of tortillas. My enchiladas are more of a “casserole” style rather than real ones. I just think that digging them out in final form is kinda difficult, so whatever…I'm just going to cut it like a casserole anyway.

The photos you see here are using only one can of enchilada sauce. I found that they were a little dry, and didn't have a huge amount of enchilada flavors. I prefer to have more of a wet enchilada, so my suggestion is to add another final layer of enchilada sauce. It will drip down and distribute evenly as it cooks, so you'll have a more authentic-style enchilada.

Top with cheese (of course)!

You can see that it's a pretty delicious-looking layered lasagna style enchilada dish! I like to top it with sour cream and green onions (or chives). And don't forget that this also works with shredded chicken, beef, or Β pork. Actually, ground beef is just the quickest and easiest so I do it the most often but I prefer having the three shredded meats above.

That takes quite a while to prepare unless you just buy the meats pre-prepared at the store.

The slow cooker I used for this recipe was the Frigidaire 7 quart professional stainless steel slow cooker [LINK]. It's one of my all-time favorites just because of its sleek design and unique look, but it also has a few new settings that sets it apart from other slow cookers.

We don't usually review a lot of Frigidaire slow cookers because there aren't many available! It's actually quite surprising because you'd think that the more common brands like ChefmanΒ or West BendΒ would do a bit more with regards to design since they have so many models available.
