Creamy Layered Casserole

This slightly spicy casserole was always a hit at our potlucks at work, so I finally asked the co-worker who brought it for the recipe. Now I make it for my family with the same success.—LeeAnn McCue, West Springfield, Massachusetts

    We didn't like this much. The entire dish was overly salty and after cooking in the oven, the tortilla chips started to get mushy from the sauce. We threw out the leftovers. I can see how others might like this, but this meal just wasn't for us.

    This makes a delicious supper. I didn't have Monterey Jack cheese. I used a combination of part Cheddar, part Colby, and part Pepper-Jack. I will keep serving this dish.
