Easy Chicken Enchilada Casserole - with Cambells

My family is avoiding the topic of going back to school.  Ready or not it will be here before you know it so I guess it’s time to get prepared with new clothes and supplies. I’m also compiling a list of super easy weeknight meals just like this Easy Chicken Enchilada Casserole so I’m not stuck with a pile of homework, kids to shuttle back and forth and nothing ready for dinner!

Easy Chicken Enchilada Casserole - ingredients

The other day while I was at Walmart I picked some groceries and other odds and ends. I grabbed Campbell’s® Condensed Tomato Soup, Pace® Picante, and a few cans of Swanson® Premium Chicken so I could restock my pantry with all the ingredients I need to make this casserole.

Ready to shop for delicious Campbell Soup Company products? Hover over the photo below to click through to Walmart.com and purchase them!

This recipe uses just a handful of ingredients which makes it super quick to throw together.

Pace® Picante is one of my favorite items in our pantry because it’s so versatile. My boys obviously love it with chips or as a condiment on all kinds of foods. I use as an ingredient because I know it will add a quick kick to dishes!

One of my very favorite shortcuts on busy days is using Swanson® Premium Chicken. It makes meal prep extra speedy since it’s already cooked and ready to use for quick everyday meals like this one.

Let me show you how to make Easy Chicken Enchilada Casserole!

Easy Chicken Enchilada Casserole

Mix Campbell’s® Condensed Tomato Soup, a little Pace® Picante, and taco seasoning together.

Add chicken, corn, and black beans. Break chicken up a little with a fork if needed.

Easy Chicken Enchilada Casserole - For Busy Weeknights

Spread a little bit of the chicken mixture in the bottom of a baking dish.

Set corn tortillas over chicken mixture.

Add another layer of chicken mixture.

Sprinkle cheese over chicken mixture.

Repeat layers, starting with tortillas and ending with cheese, two more times.

Easy Chicken Enchilada Casserole - Simple Weeknight Dinner

My family wishes the summer could last forever. We need our kids to help us on the farm, we love having them around, and they’d rather work on the farm than go to school anyway.

Back to school brings a whole new level of crazy busy. It’s almost like we are forced into having a schedule because the kids have piano lessons, and homework, and chores. We have to balance that back to school schedule with the hectic summer “no schedule” on the farm. It’s fair to say that our schedule is brutal until we complete our harvest in the fall.

Being able to make a weeknight dinner, stick it in the fridge, and go on with my day makes helping do algebra homework in evenings much easier! So whether you need a make ahead so you can be a substitute tractor driver since your kids are in school and can’t drive it, or whether it’s your turn to drive the preschool carpool, or volunteering in the classroom this Easy Chicken Enchilada Casserole will make you life easier and yummier!

    This looks so delicious. We had something very similar for dinner last night. Tastes the same without all the rolling in traditional enchiladas. #client

    I am a usually make things from scratch girl. With a covid-inspired influx of canned chicken, I tried it cautiously. IT IS AMAZINGLY tasty, and easy to make. I will definitely be entering this recipe in the regular rotation!!

      This year we’ve definitely started cooking with whatever cans we have sitting on our shelves. I’m so happy this recipe was a winner at your house! Casseroles are a perfect place to use canned chicken!

    Soooooo want to try this recipe. But I HATE BLACK BEANS. Could I possibly replace them with refried beans and just layer them into the dish.

    Reply
    • Amy Engberson says

      January 20, 2021 at 4:05 pm

      Yes! You could use refried beans and layer them in the dish. Or you could use any other kind of beans…pinto, red beans, kidney beans, or even navy or great northern beans. Let me know how it turns out!
