This is a very tasty enchilada casserole full of flavor and versatility. I was thinking how great it would be along with some mexican rice or even stuffed inside some taco shells! It was wonderful to have it on hand in the freezer for me to just pop in the oven. I didn't let it defrost all the way overnight, but I baked it in the oven on 300 degrees for two hours. I will definitely make this again and again!
