“Every time I serve this creamy casserole, it gets rave reviews. The recipe was passed down to me and is so good! It’s really easy to make, freezes well and has just a touch of heat. If your family likes more, add some jalapenos!” Kendra Doss - Smithville, MO

This was great! I didn't have any celery on hand, so had to omit that. I also used a 14 oz can of tomatoes and green chilies (instead of 10 oz). My whole family liked it! It has some kick to it too! We have a lot left over, too. It makes a large amount. Good if you need take a meal to a family who likes Mexican food.

A very tasty addition to my recipe book. Although I made it with the green chilles we decided next time to use jalepenos for more of a kick. Easy to make with ingredients I usually have on hand. Will definitely make it again. Good for feeding hungry teenagers.

Was very good and easy to make. I actually split it into 2 8x8 pans and froze one.

I made this tonight and everyone loved it. I had left over cooked chicken in the fridge so this was the perfect dish to use it up. I only used on celery and half a pepper because the kids won't eat green things and I pretty much doubled everything else. I used an 11x14 baking dish to cook it. Recipe fed 17 people. I will used it again for sure.

My husband's favourite and will be making this for family vacation, as everyone who tastes it demands the recipe. It is delicious!! We make sure to have plenty of sour cream on hand.
