Slow Cooker Creamy Chipotle Sweet Potato Enchiladas

Enchilada’s are the perfect food for cooking rebels because you can pretty much make them any way you want! While there’s nothing wrong with the traditional, like beef or chicken, sometimes it’s fun to do things a little different. So let’s throw in some sweet potatoes. Oh, and if that wasn’t wild and crazy enough we are also get to get a little lazy by making an enchilada casserole instead of rolling them all up. Any issues with that? Okay, let’s get to work on our newest creation… Sweet Potato Enchilada Casserole with a Creamy Chipotle sauce… oh and while we’re at it let’s just throw them in the crock!
