Enchilada Casserole

This is a slow cooker meal that I will be making often, it was delicious and very easy to switch up depending on what you like or have on hand.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons diced green chiles, divided
1/2 cup salsa
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (11-ounce) can corn with red and green peppers, drained
1 (10-ounce) can enchilada sauce
1/2 cup egg substitute
1 (8 1/2 ounce) package corn muffin mix
2 tablespoons chopped bottled roasted red bell peppers
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded reduced-fat Mexican blend or cheddar cheese
6 tablespoons low-fat sour cream
1 1/2 teaspoons thinly sliced fresh cilantro

Preparation

1. Place 2 tablespoons green chiles and next 6 ingredients (through enchilada sauce) in a 3 1/2-quart electric slow cooker; stir well. Cover with lid; cook on low-heat setting 4 hours.
2. Combine remaining 1 tablespoon green chiles, egg substitute, muffin mix, and roasted bell peppers in a bowl. Spoon batter evenly over bean mixture in slow cooker. Cover and cook 1 hour or until corn bread is done.
3. Sprinkle cheese over corn bread. Cover and cook 5 minutes or until cheese melts. Top each serving with sour cream; sprinkle with cilantro.

spread the corn bread mixture over top
Spread it over the top, this is a little tricky but it doesn't have to be absolutely perfect.

cover it for about a half hour
Say goodbye again for about 20 minutes, then you want to sprinkle the cheese over the top and cover for a few minutes. I was so excited to try this that I forgot this step!

Enchilada Casserole
I managed to get the cheese on before serving with a nice dollop of sour cream on top. This was SO tasty, I cannot wait to make it again. You can add chicken, pork, beef, whatever else you may like to change it up.
