What do you serve chicken enchilada casserole with?
You actually don’t need any sides with an enchilada casserole, as it contains almost all food groups! However, if you’d like to add something to your meal, you should add something fresh. Because casseroles are so hefty, they pair well with fresh vegetable salads or baked vegetables.
How do you freeze a chicken enchilada casserole?
To freeze a chicken enchilada casserole, you have to wait for it to cool down. Then, wrap it in cling film or foil and place in the freezer. Though you can wrap the whole casserole if you have enough space in the freezer, we recommend wrapping each portion individually. That way you will be able to reheat it portion by portion.
Can you make an enchilada casserole with more than 2 layers?
You can make more layers in your casserole, but they’ll have to be thinner. Ultimately, it all depends on the size of your your baking dish. If it’s tall enough, it can hold more layers. Taller casseroles might fall apart during serving though.
