This slow-cooked stacked enchilada pie cooks up entirely in the crockpot and is the perfect busy weeknight comfort food!
Mother Nature has been giving my crockpot quite the workout lately.
Why? Because it is COLD here, friends. And I’m not even exaggerating here either. Our temps combined with wind chills the past few days have gotten as low as 25 below zero.
The other day, it got up to a balmy 6 degrees, so I seized the moment and ventured outside for as long as 5 minutes just to give my lungs some fresh air since I was almost about to die from the stale-stuffy-and-breathed-by-eight-other-people-air. (read: I hadn’t gone outside in 5 days)
Who in their right mind would live in Wisconsin in the dead of February? Not me. Florida cannot come fast enough. ♥
My coping mechanism for now? ALL the comfort food. And if I can combine comfort food and crockpot into the same sentence, I think it’s safe to say we’ve got a WINNER of a dinner ready to beat those winter blahs.
Enter, Crockpot Enchilada Pie. YO!
I partnered up with Pick ‘n’ Save to bring you this plateful of comfort food today. The friendly folks at Pick ‘n’ Save gave me the challenge of creating a fresh-tasting, comfort-food recipe using their handy-dandy canned foods.
I think they read my mind or something, because I had already HAD an idea formulating in my mind for this stacked enchilada pie, and their theme fit perfectly! Coinky-dinks like that are just meant to be, my friends. 😉
So obviously the second I walked into our local Pick ‘n’ Save the other day, I headed straight for the Mexican-food section and then pretty much bought the store out of black beans, diced tomatoes, and salsa.
Sorrynotsorry.
And, uh, I had to grab some chips and guac too, because you just can’t have enchiladas without ALL of the fixins’.
Also, because shopping makes me hungry and somehow half a bag of those chips just vanished by the time I got home. Maybe my car has mice or something?
Oke-doke, getting back to today’s awesomeness here. Let’s talk about the method behind this enchilada pie.
Guess what. There is basically NONE.
Dump all the Mexican goodness in the crockpot with the tortillas….
…and the cheese. Obviously a LOT of it.
Turn that baby on. Cook that baby long and slow a few hours or until your house smells so good you can’t stand the suspense any more.
Pile on the extra toppings why dontcha’ because uh, why not?
Dig into your slice of slow-cooked enchilada heaven with BOTH hands.
Guys, this right here is just pure February-blahs-beating perfection.
It’s just a big ‘ol slice of messy Mexican COMFORT food.
Nothing beats it. My currently-freezing self concurs.

Oh man, this weather is brutal! It’s only going to be a high of 8 on Thursday, so crazy! But I’m loving all of the crock pot dishes this time of year. What a great idea to make an enchilada pie, Sarah! Sounds like such a delicious combination and the perfect comfort food to get me through this nasty winter!

I think we both need a tropical getaway, what do you think?! Oh, and obviously two slices of this pie. 😉 Thanks Gayle!
So my boyfriend LOVES enchiladas. I look forward to trying this dish out for him!

I can never get enough use of my crockpot. It has to be the best kitchen appliance invented. This enchilada pie is killing me, Sarah. It looks so tasty! I love how colorful it is.
Jen @ Baked by an Introvert recently posted…Super Easy Oatmeal Cream Pies
AGREED! I don’t know what I would do without my crockpot! 😀
Oh Sarah, I can’t believe how bitterly cold it’s been this year 🙁 We just want to hide out underneath our fortress of blankets with all the comfort foods and never come out – except to make this incredible looking pie! My husband is such a big fan of anything that has to do with enchiladas and I love that it’s made in the slow cooker!
Haha! You read my mind, girl because this pie is pretty much the ONLY reason I would ever want to venture outside my mountain fuzzy blankets too! 😉
Yum, mexican anything is just perfect on a cold winter day. Or, you know, anytime of the year. But especially in the winter! This sounds delicious and I love anything that can be made in the crockpot!

I am impressed – you sure did good on the challenge of “creating a fresh-tasting, comfort-food recipe using canned foods” – this is truly comforting and mouthwatering!
Thank you so much Shashi! 🙂
Mexican food is perfect for these frigid days! And I LOVE crockpot ANYthing! Looks so good Sarah!
Thanks so much Ashley!! xoxo
I am so not jealous of your cold weather (-25?!! that sounds way too cold!) but I am so jealous that you get to eat this enchilada pie tonight and I don’t!! I used to make something similar almost everyday as a snack in high school but haven’t made it in forever! Yours looks much better and more exciting though! I’m so hungry now 🙂

Yay for Florida! I grew up in central Florida and can tell you that the weather in the spring-time is great! I live in south Florida now and the weather in the winter and spring is equally great, but sometimes one heck of a roller coaster ride. Today it was in the 80s for the high. Tomorrow in the 60s and by Friday, we will wake up to temps in the 30s with highs in the 50s!
So about this enchilada pie, I want to eat all of it! I’m a Mexican-foodaholic so this is totally my kind of meal!

Enchiladas always make me feel better about life…even when it’s FEELS LIKE -9 OUTSIDE. Sigh. Pass a slice of this enchilada pie…I need it!

It’s surprisingly cold here in Australia too Sarah, we’re expecting a cyclone tomorrow – but I am yet to pull out my slow cooker. Think that this recipe is the perfect excuse to do so though – an enchilada pie sounds delicious!

Right now, I’m wishing I was anywhere but Wisconsin, to be honest…LOL. Thanks Amber!
This looks absolutely HEAVENLY and I’m SHOCKED you can put a tortilla in the crock pot. I would think it would turn to mush! Genius! I was born in Florida, raised in Alaska, and after 4 years of living in two other states, we’re back in Florida. I do miss the cold that North Carolina offered, but I can’t even lie, getting to go to the beach yesterday was heavenly. We previously lived in Orlando, which I hated, but we’re in the panhandle now (in the Central timezone!) and it is GORGEOUS here. Come visit! #client
