Mexican Enchilda Casserole

This casserole is inspired by the flavor of Mexico. It is basically an Americanized enchilada.

The first time one of the kids see me pouring 7-up into their dinner they were always surprised. So was I just as I was the first time I saw my mom prepare this Mexican Enchilada Casserole. This casserole was always one of my favorite meals my mom prepared.

My sister, Natasha, came to live with us a while. One night I prepared this casserole. Natasha said she really like this dish. I was shocked to learn that she had never had it before. I’m the oldest of six kids and quite a bit older than her. She is the second to the youngest. This is one of the recipes that my mom prepared when I was growing up. However, she apparently stopped fixing it somewhere along the way.
