Slow Cooker Beef & Quinoa Enchilada Casserole
Casseroles are one of my favorite ways to put dinner on the table, but when you can make a casserole in the slow cooker it makes it even more amazing.
You can use just about any slow cooker, but if you have a casserole slow cooker this recipe would work perfectly.
As a homeschooling mom of three, I try to get dinner prepped by early afternoon on most days, so that I am free at dinnertime to tend to other things. Recipes like this one help me to make dinner ahead of time and feed my family a healthy and filling meal without much fuss.
If you and your family enjoy the flavors of enchiladas, then this recipe is for you. It’s full of flavor and is really easy to put together. All you have to do is cook the meat and mix it all in the slow cooker. I hope you enjoy the recipe!
