Slow Cooker Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas Recipe
This house smells AMAZING when we cook this, one of Jamie and My favs!
You’ll be glad that this recipe makes 10 hearty servings – 1.5 cup is a serving with a small salad on the side if you want more!
It’s so good, you might want to eat the leftovers for breakfast (like I do ). It tastes amazing topped with a sunny side-up egg, or any egg! (Scrambled, egg cups, omelet, boiled eggs (well that may be stretching it)
