Bush’s® Beans Are The Perfect Add-In For Enchiladas
We’ll happily enjoy Bush’s® Traditional Refried Beans anytime. Ever since the new variety launched in Canada in 2020, they have been a go-to side dish and a must-have filling for burritos, tacos, quesadillas, and layered dips. That said, we can’t get enough of them in our Chicken Enchilada Casserole.
I mean it! My son is especially head over heels for this dish and asks for it all the time. I don’t blame him. This casserole is chock-full of delicious flavours with just a hint of heat. But that spice mellows out when the toppings come into play: fresh sour cream, bright green onions, and lemony cilantro. It’s all about the balance!
My mouth is watering just thinking of this meal.
What makes this casserole this amazing? It has got to be Bush’s® Traditional Refried Beans! They are rich, creamy, and seasoned to perfection. We love their quality as well; they are a cut above the rest and you can taste that in every yummy bite.
There Are So Many Ways To Enjoy Bush’s® Beans
Whether we’re digging into layered nachos served with a pitcher of iced tea in our backyard, or settling in for a family movie night with all the snacks, this summer we’re sure to include Bush’s® Traditional Refried Beans. They’re an easy add-in to meals and elevate everyday snack time.
Did you know Bush Brothers & Company started over 110 years ago? They are a family company that takes pride in their beans – and it shows!
You Have Got To Try Our Chicken Enchilada Casserole
When it comes to planning for family meals, this recipe is a winner! You can prepare it all at once in a large 9×13 inch casserole dish, or you can do like me and split it into two. I bake both at the same time, in smaller dishes, and freeze one of the casseroles for a meal the following week. I’m all about that meal prep and saving time! Did I mention this casserole is done baking in 30 minutes? It takes no time at all to put together, thanks to using store-bought rotisserie chicken. All you need to do is chop, mix, assemble and let the oven do its work.
So without further ado, you’ll find the recipe below. Print it, pin it, save it! You’ll thank me later.
And whatever you do, don’t forget the Bush’s® Traditional Refried Beans – they’re everything!
