Super Easy Recipe to the Post-Holiday Rescue!: Enchilada Casserole

OK, so enchilada casserole isn't exactly a, er, particularly fancy recipe.

But hey, not ALL recipes can be fancy. It's delicious, fairly inexpensive, and can be made in less than an hour total, including cooking time. There are many, many possible variations on this recipe.... it can be made more or less onion-y, with chicken or beef, vegetarian, more layered, less layered, seasoned... Use my recipe or try making your own! :)
