This dish is perfect for feeding a crowd, serving up to eight people, making it an ideal choice for family dinners or casual gatherings with friends. The combination of seasoned ground beef, mild green chiles, and a velvety mix of cream of chicken soup and sour cream creates a deeply satisfying and indulgent meal. Wrapped in soft flour tortillas, the enchiladas are then smothered in the creamy sauce and topped with a generous layer of melted Cheddar cheese that browns beautifully in the oven.
