Cheesy Enchilada Rice Skillet

Anytime a recipe calls for Enchilada Sauce, I will stop and look.  Seriously, I can drink the stuff with a straw straight from the can.  So when I saw this, yes, we had to have.

D made it Friday.  It was huge and good.  We need to have again.  I added extra sauce to mine.
