This is my favorite recipe from Dinners Ready or Dream Dinners or whatever place it was I got this recipe. I thought it was Dinners Ready. My recipe says Dream Dinners. Who knows. But this actually seems to work better once it's frozen. I usually make two pans- one to bake right then and one to freeze for later. The same-day pan often seems soupy- I don't know why freezing and thawing it would make a difference but it seems to.
Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas:
16 oz cream of chicken soup
8 oz sour cream
1 tsp cumin
4 oz diced onion
2oz diced green chilies
1 lb cooked chicken, cubed
8-16 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
8-16 oz enchilada sauce
8 tortillas
Mix soup, sour cream, and cumin in a large bowl. Spread a thin layer over bottom of a 9x13 baking pan; set aside. Mix 3/4 of the soup/cream sauce with onions, chilies, chicken, and 6-8 oz cheese. Fill tortillas and place in pan seam side down. Spread remaining soup/cream sauce over tortillas. Drizzle enchilada sauce over tortillas, top with shredded cheese. Cover with foil and freeze.
To bake: Thaw enchiladas. Preheat oven to 350. With foil still in place, bake for 25 minutes. Remove cover and bake for another 15-20 minutes.
This is one dish that I never make according to the recipe. I don't add the onion or chilies because, ya know, I'm weird and I have texture issues. I use way more cheese and enchilada sauce than called for; I use less than a pound of chicken; I don't spread the mixture in the pan or on the enchiladas. Basically, you can do just about whatever you want because it's tough to screw this one up!
