Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Casserole image

This is great to make for get-togethers and parties or whenever you are expecting friends and family, or a good Sunday evening meal that will give you leftovers for the week. My mom used to make this when I was a kid, and now I've added my own twists to it.

This casserole was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt next time.
