Week 9/30/19
Happy Monday Babes! I’m back again with dinner for the week. These are sure to help fill everyone’s tummy without breaking the bank. I switched to a new recipe interface for my posts so that it was easier and now they’re pinnable AND printable so you can toss them right in your recipe book or tin if you want. The ingredients for each of these recipes added up to less than $50 for our family of 5 and I was hype. So here ya go, enjoy!

Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas
It's chicken and cheese so you really can't go wrong, lol.
Equipment
- 9x13 Casserole Dish
Ingredients
- 1 pint Sour Cream
- 1 can Cream of Chicken Soup (10.5 Oz can)
- 1 can Diced Green Chiles (4 Oz can)
- 10 Flour Tortillas
- 2 cups Mild Shredded Cheese
- 3 Chicken Breast (precooked and cut up or use a rotisserie chicken)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- Combine sour cream, soup, and chilies in a bowl
- Take 3/4 cup of soup mixture and slather the entire bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish. This will be a thin layer that will help the enchiladas from sticking to the bottom.

- Bake for 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly and cheese is melted.
