WHAT IS A CASSEROLE?
A casserole or as we call it here in the midwest is actually referred to the actually cooking pan itself. The casserole dish is a deep dish that cooks food slowly in the oven.
Casserole was termed for these dishes because of the way in which they were cooked. So casserole can be anything that you mix together and bake in a casserole dish.

Very good! My hubby liked it better than traditional enchiladas! But I think it needs more tortillas! I even cooked them in oil before adding them to the casserole, they were still a little mushy and not much corn tortilla flavor! But overall, a 9 outa 10! Will be making again!
