I’m back for another attempt at cooking!
Here’s the recipe. I left out the sugar, because I have an aversion to main dishes, meat, or veggies that have an unnatural sweet taste to them, even if slight (I know…I’m strange). This is Anjolette’s recipe DOUBLED, as I made it in the video. Anjolette makes 1/2 of this recipe and prepares it in an 8″ x 8″ casserole dish.
Anjolette’s Chicken Enchilada Casserole
4 cups cooked chicken
2 tsp sugar
1 cup salsa
38 oz. enchilada sauce
22 oz corn
4 cups coarsely crushed tortilla chips
8 medium green onions, thinly sliced
2 medium tomatoes, diced
2 cups cheese (Cheddar or a Mexican mix is good)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix chicken, sugar, salsa, enchilada sauce and corn in a medium bowl. Spread chips in baking dish. Top with chicken mixture. Sprinkle with onions, tomato and cheese.
Bake 35 – 45 minutes. Serve with sour cream.
Matt and I both absolutely love this casserole!! I think the only change I would make in the future is to switch out the corn for another veggie, but that’s just because I’m not a huge fan of corn. (Maybe it has something to do with corn being sweet. Yes, I really do know that I’m strange like that.) But Matt likes it just the way it is.
Addicted 2 Decorating is where I share my DIY and decorating journey as I remodel and decorate the 1948 fixer upper that my husband, Matt, and I bought in 2013. Matt has M.S. and is unable to do physical work, so I do the majority of the work on the house by myself. You can learn more about me here.
I hope you’ll join me on my DIY and decorating journey! If you want to follow my projects and progress, you can subscribe below and have each new post delivered to your email inbox. That way you’ll never miss a thing!

January 18, 2011 at 1:49 pmblack beans would be great, but maybe you could replace the corn with half black bean and half hominy— it is not as sweet as corn.
