Cindy Beth made these one year when we were over at her house for a fish fry. I never did make scalloped potatoes because they took too long in the oven and boiled over in the microwave. These were delicious and very tender. I have discovered that if you use either low fat margarine or low fat evaporated milk it will bubble over in the microwave. Of course you can adjust the amounts for a smaller casserole.

I never wanted to try chicken pot pie…seemed like just too much work. Played around with ingredients and came up with this.

We used regular lasagna noodles once and they just didn’t get done, switched to the “no-boil noodles” and it worked great.

You could cook chicken breasts if you did not want to buy the canned meat or even use a rotisserie chicken. Just boil for about 1 hour in salted seasoned water…drain and chop meat.

quick, easy

This king of all casseroles gets a punch of great flavor from picante sauce, chili powder and green onions. It’s a flavorful way to use leftover chicken or turkey that will have your family coming back for more!

This is really good. My kids used to request this meal when they came home from a week at camp!
Usually I end up using more chicken and more spaghetti than actually called for; when I do this I add an extra can of cream of mushroom soup.

I finally tried this…it was really good but made a lot. I suggest you make two smaller casseroles and freeze one.

One of those recipes you can “make your own”.
You can adjust sugar, jalapeno juice and diced jalapeno to your personal preference. The original recipe did not call for sugar at all…I like mine sweeter. Son-in-law likes it spicier so they add more jalapeno. Just mix together in a glass casserole dish and pop into the microwave at the last minute prior to serving. It is also easy to adjust the amounts for a smaller family.

Serve with English muffins, biscuits, toast or sweet roll. Dish can be made up early and put in refrigerator and then heated the next morning. Serve with picante sauce on the side. I make this up on Christmas Eve to heat and serve on Christmas morning.
