A family recipe created by my favorite aunt and tweaked a bit by me. I have never made this for anyone that didn't want the recipe. I use the powder Enchilada Sauce Mix, but you can use the canned sauce, if you prefer. The mix has a smoother flavor. This recipe can be easily doubled and frozen. Enjoy....

Pour cheese sauce over all. Cover with foil and place in 350 degree oven for approx. 15 mins. or till warm throughout.

Serve with dishes of shredded lettuce, chopped gr. onions and chopped tomatoes. Just top your serving with your choices. I also like to set out tortilla chips and salsa. Enjoy!
