Verde Nacho Casserole

Weeknight cooking got a whole lot easier. There are many evenings where by the time Ben arrives home from work, I am exhausted and not exactly in the mood to cook anything complex. But, this doesn’t mean I don’t want to eat something complex. What to do? This is when I turn to the Kraft Recipe Makers.Kraft Recipe Makers Verde Nacho CasseroleYou have read about my experiences with Kraft Recipe Makers twice now. Are you convinced yet? The other night, I used the Verde Chicken Enchilada Recipe Maker to whip up a Verde Nacho Casserole. This was one of the three recipes offered on the box. It was fantastic!

Unlike some other boxed recipe helpers, Kraft Recipe Makers leaves room for you to add your own fresh ingredients, while supplying the layers of flavor through their included sauces.Kraft Recipe Makers Finishing SauceFor the Verde Nacho Casserole, I cooked ground beef in a skillet then added the Finishing Sauce supplied in the Recipe Makers box. I then layered tortilla chips, the meat, refried beans, shredded cheese and black olives into a casserole dish.

Kraft Recipe Makers Creamy RancheroAfter baking in a preheated oven for just 15 minutes, our dinner was ready after quickly topping with the finishing sauce, chopped jalapeños and fresh tomatoes. Just 15 minutes, people!

Okay, so the total time it took to make this was about 20-25 minutes when you include browning the meat and chopping the vegetables. But, um, can you really beat that??

This dinner was complete just as a casserole because everything we needed or wanted was included. The chips, the meat, the veggies, the sauce. All there. Layers of flavor stacked into my one casserole dish, and all I had to clean was that one dish along with the one skillet. Easy peasy, no fuss, no mess.

Kraft Recipe Makers Verde Nacho CasseroleThe two sauces that I used from the Verde Chicken Enchilada Recipe Maker box were Creamy Ranchero Filling Sauce and Tomatillo Finishing Sauce. These are two very versatile sauces that allow you to venture out from the suggested recipes and use in your own homemade dish. Such is the case with the entire line of 9 different Recipe Makers products. They are intended to be versatile enough so you can either follow the recipes included on the box, or use them to help eliminate the complex cooking steps when adding layers of flavor to your own recipes.

  1. I’d probably make vegetarian enchilladas. My favorite thing to get when I go out for Mexican (aside from chips and guacamole, and of course a maragarita) is the spinach enchillada, which just about every Mexican restaurant has. So yea, I’d make some kind of version of that dish

  5. These nachos look delicious. I think you could make an improvised lasagna using the three-cheese chicken florentine Recipe Maker.

  6. I would definitely go the Mexican route but use it for an Enchilada bake. I’d use both sauces inside mixed with the meat. Roll them up, bake them, shred some cheese on top and Voila! Yum!

  14. I’d use the “Asian Fish Tacos” recipe maker to make steamed whole fish. I’ll first try it in a steamer, then the French en papillote method, can’t wait!

  22. The Tex Mex Chicken Fajitas sound wonderful I would serve them with sauteed green and red pepper and onions sour cream guacamole and of course extra cheese on a warm four tortilla

  23. I was thinking to take the Asian Fish Taco kit and just make the entire thing with vegetables like bell peppers, snow peas and breaded cubes of tofu. It could be pretty great.
