As you all know, I LOVE Mexican food. I was so excited to find this recipe and had to try it out. The bonus, it cooks in the crock pot!! I had never had green enchilada sauce before and now I am sold. It was delicious. I left the casserole for dinner and when I came home from work that night, there was none left. They ate the WHOLE thing. So I can’t give you a personal taste preference, but according to the family, it was really good! (Atleast they remembered to take a picture)

Repeat layers twice, reserving the last 1/2 cup of the cheese.
