i always found making recipes can get expensive, but if you have a slow cooker, i have a white chicken chili that i found that's delicious and not too expensive.
this is the link to the chili
Also, i do have a decent enchilada recipe which makes a decent amount.
Ingredients:
5 oz. reduced fat cream cheese, softened ( i use a whole brick)
1/4 cup light sour cream
1 of the large. cans of enchilada sauce, red or green (i like green)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, plus more for the top
1/2 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese, plus more for the top
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
1 can drained corn
4 oz. can diced green chiles
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp cumin
Salt and pepper
4 scallions, thinly sliced (optional, i usually skip them)
8 (8-inch) whole wheat tortillas
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Spray a 9×13 dish with cooking spray.
In the bowl of your mixer cream together the cream cheese, sour cream, and 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce. Stir in 1/2 cup of each type of cheese.
In a second bowl toss together the chicken, corn, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper, green chiles, and half of the scallions if you're adding them. Add the chicken mixture to the cheese mixture and combine well.
Spread about half of the remaining enchilada sauce in the bottom of the baking dish to basically just coat the bottom of the dish.
Spoon the filling into each tortilla, roll the tortilla up, and place in the baking dish with the seam down i roll it a littlewhen i put it in to make sure it's seam is down. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the filled tortillas and sprinkle with a healthy amount of cheese, like a big handful of each kind. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Sprinkle with the remaining scallions and serve.
the filling is also fantastic on it's own and i'm sure you could make a cheesy casserole without the tortillas by just adding extra cheese and spreading it in a casserole dish. Also, any left over filling, my husband likes to just eat with chips or by its self because the chicken is fully cooked.
