Vegetable Enchilada Casserole with Salsa Verde

8 01 2018

This is a great casserole to make ahead of time. My family ate it for dinner and then the leftovers for lunch the next day. You can use a store-bought salsa verde or make your own with tomatillos or green tomatoes. You can also substitute other vegetables you may have on hand like spinach, broccoli, yellow squash, butternut squash, etc… Adjust your seasonings as you like. You could use chili powder as well if you like or add in more hot pepper if you like it spicy. Experiment. Double the recipe to make a huge casserole to last you for a few days.
