Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I never use the butter. The cornbread seems fine without it. There is plenty of juice in the chilies and the cheese has fat. I use La Preferrida enchilada sauce. Both mild and hot are available. If I am making this for Uncle Bob, I use the hot sauce (he likes to sweat.) If anyone wants to know the calorie count, they can call me. PS. I have never served this with sour cream and green onions, although I am sure it would be good. PPS. The cornbread does not really get brown in the crockpot. You need to use a toothpick to see if it is done. Sometimes I turn the crockpot on high at the end to finish off the cornbread. Be careful though, if this is in the crock pot too long, it gets dry.
