Mushroom Enchilada Casserole

Looking for a delicious meatless meal? This Mushroom Enchilada Casserole is packed with savory mushrooms, cheesy goodness, and bold enchilada sauce. Perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prep! #VegetarianRecipe #EnchiladaCasserole #MushroomRecipes #EasyDinner #MeatlessMonday #Shutterbean

Do we call this a Mushroom Enchilada Casserole, or is it more of a Mushroom Enchilada Lasagna? It’s layered like a lasagna and baked in a big dish, but I’m leaning toward calling it a casserole. The layers of tortillas nestled between the cheesy mushroom and black bean mixture come together beautifully, melding into one big bowl of goodness.   Either way, I’m obsessed and I’ll be eating this for the next few days.

Topped with sour cream, cilantro, and sliced jalapenos?  Yes, please.
