Chicken Fajita Casserole

Threw this together with stuff I had in the pantry/fridge, turned out to be a huge hit.

Ingredients: 2 Bell Peppers (any color) - diced 1 medium onion - diced 2-4 tbps of minced garlic (depending on your taste preference) 1lb box of Rotini pasta 1.5 lbs of chicken breast, diced 2 packets Fajita seasoning Olive or vegetable oil 1 pkg (8oz) shredded cheddar cheese 1 can refried beans with green chilis 1 can Campbells Fiesta Nacho Cheese soup 1 can cream of chicken (or mushroom) soup

Boil a pot of water and cook Rotini to al dente. While that is cooking, coat a frying pan in the cooking oil of your choice and add the chicken and garlic. Cook the chicken until it is almost done. Add the onion and green pepper in and cook until tender. Add half a cup of water and the Fajita seasoning packets. Cook, stirring frequently until water is gone.

Preheat oven to 375.

Once Rotini is done, remove water. I like to dump it in a strainer and let it sit. I then put the three canned ingredients in the pot the pasta was in and on a low fire, stir it all until its smooth. Add the Rotini and meat/veggie mix in and stir until well mixed.

Pour mixture into 9x13 baking pan. Top with shredded cheese. Bake until cheese is melted and edges brown.

Serve with sour cream and salsa.

For a nice kick, top the cheese with crushed spicy Doritos.



bon appetit
