Emergency dinner from a can

Whether you forgot to throw dinner in the crockpot, have a power outage, or other problem that is preventing you from making dinner, this recipe ALWAYS comes to the rescue.  I think this is our family's favorite soup.  I made this as a starter at Thanksgiving dinner when my parents were visiting.  Albeit not traditional for Thanksgiving dinner.  Everyone in the family kept telling them how wonderful this soup is, and my mother refused to believe it.  But it IS good....so good!  It is so easy it can be doubled easily or adjusted to your own taste.  I have put this on noodles and used it as a dip.  It is quite unique.  It is all from a can, so you can have it on hand at all times.  I always use a crock pot, but if you are in a rush, it can be heated up on the stove also.  It can even be heated up over a few candles if need be.  It is perfect for kids and non-cooks alike.

Anyway, here are the ingredients:

1 can of shredded chicken
1 can of Rotel
1 LARGE can of cream of mushroom soup (or 2 normal size)
1 can of enchilada sauce

That's it!  Just heat and serve.
