My Moms all time favorite dish that she would make for Sunday potlucks and everyone just had to have the recipe is her Mexican Chicken casserole and you can substitute and still have it taste so yummy





Either boil up your whole chicken and reserve some juice for the tortillas or you can buy a rotesserie chicken or chicken breasts- cut them up or shred them and set them aside





You can either crush up your favorite tortilla chips or lay out in a buttered casserole dish your wrm corn tortillas. I personally like to tear mine up and then pour over enough chicken broth to get them moist





In a big pot-





1 can of mushroom soup


1 can of cream of chicken soup


1 medium container of sourcream


1 can of mild diced green chilis


1/2 cup if your favorite salsa


finely choped tomatoes of your choice- Usually 1 very large one will do


1 can of chopped black olives


Your favorite cheddar cheese shredded





You can add milk until the right consistency.





Don't forget to add the chicken back in.








You mix pour the mixture over the tortillas and cover with cheese and more crushed chips if you would like.





Bake at 350 degrees until bubbly and brown. Oh this is oh so good. Since everything is basically cooked it just needs to heat thru and get crispy on top.





This can be made ahead of time and actually is better if you let it set for a few hours in the firdge to get all the juices flowing. Oh yummy. Freezed beautifully and can even eat it cold.





Serve with a nice green salad and crunchy bread.





You can also do this recipe and add in rice instead of the tortillas. It is so good.Covered dish recipes???

I thought you would get tons of great recipes, so I tried to think outside the box, things that keep the one dish theme. I love casseroles, and easy throw together things, people laugh at my throw it in, sure lets add that technique but noone has ever stopped coming back to try something new. Good luck. You are the cook, you are in charge. Who knows what you like than more thna yourself, yes its nice to get new ideas, but never feel trapped into the recipe. Make your own speciality dish

green bean casserole
Well... I'm a Texas gal, and this is a family favorite...


(*I'm* Diabetic now, so I can't do this anymore...)





Choose a high grade of ground meat - the less fat the better.


If you want to go healthier - chose ground Turkey.





';Corn'; Casserole





2 pounds lean ground beef - browned and drained


1 heaping teaspoon Knorr Powdered Beef bullion


(in the ground meat while browning.)


1 can corn - drained


1 can Campbell's Cream of Mushroom


1 can Campbell's Cream of Chicken


2 Cups (when dry) macaroni - then cooked and drained


1/4 Cups chopped onion or bell pepper - if you like


3 pieces white bread - cubed


2-3 tablespoons melted butter or margarine.





(Boil the macaroni until al dente with a little bullion in the water for better flavor.)





Spray a large Casserole Dish with Pam Spray.


Mix together the canned soups, corn, drained macaroni and ground beef. Quickly toss the bread cubes in the melted margarine, then top the casserole with the bread cubes.


Put in a 350*F to 400*F oven (depending on your elevation) and bake until bubbly... usually 30 minutes.





You can make this with mixed vegetables... or just one... You can use spaghetti broken very short - to make it like a Tetrazinni... you can top it with shreaded cheddar cheese - instead of bread... You can even use cubed Chicken instead of ground meat.





For the healthiest slant - you can lessen the soup, increase the veggies, and make the bread and pasta whole wheat!





Peace hon!
