Enchilada Casserole
Why I Love This Recipe
My Aunt Bonnie first made this dish one Christmas when both of my cousins and my sister became vegetarians. I loved it so much it has been a staple 'company' dish for me ever since. It's so filling and rich I usually only serve it with a side of yellow rice and/or a salad
