 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.

It’s just a big ‘ol slice of messy Mexican COMFORT food.

  4. 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! 😉

  10. 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 🙂

  13. 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!

    • What?! That’s crazy temperature differences! I’m really looking forward to visiting in March, though! People tell me that’s definitely the best time to go to Florida. 😉

  25. 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
