Slow-Cooker Enchiladas
“As a busy wife and mother of two young sons, I rely on this handy recipe. I layer enchilada ingredients in the slow cooker, turn it on and forget about it. With a bit of spice, these hearty enchiladas are especially nice during the colder months.” —Mary Luebbert, Benton, Kansas
