Provided by Karen From Colorado

Categories     Chicken

Time 45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup green pepper, diced
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
2 cups cooked chicken or 2 cups cooked turkey
1 (4 ounce) can green chili peppers, chopped
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine
1/4-1/2 cup flour (I use 1/2 cup)
1 teaspoon ground coriander
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups monterey jack cheese
12 (8 inch) flour tortillas

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan cook onion and green pepper in the 2 tablespoons of butter until tender.
  • Combine onion mixture in a bowl with chopped chicken and green chili peppers.
  • Set aside.
  • For sauce, in the same pan melt 3 tablespoons butter.
  • Stir in flour, coriander and salt.
  • Stir in chicken broth all at once.
  • Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Stir in sour cream and 1/2 cup of the cheese.
  • Stir 1/2 cup of the sauce into the chicken mixture.
  • Fill each tortilla with about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture.
  • Roll up and arrange in a 13x19x2 baking dish.
  • Pour remaining sauce over and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  • Bake, uncovered in a 350 oven about 25 minutes or until bubbly.
  • Can be made ahead of time and frozen. Place a large sheet of heavy duty foil in your baking dish with enough foil over the end to fold up and over the frozen casserole. Make the casserole up until you are ready to bake it. Freeze it solid. Remove frozen casserole from your dish and encase in the excess foil for storage. This frees up the dish for other meals. When you wish to heat it, remove foil from the still frozen casserole, and place back into the dish that you froze it in initially to thaw; bake as directed.

MEXICAN PARTY CASSEROLE



Mexican Party Casserole image

This casserole is one of my favorite potluck contributions, as it's easy to make lots of it fast, and folks love it.

Provided by Geri by the Sea

Categories     Beans

Time 1h

Yield 2 pans, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

48 ounces refried beans
20 ounces tortilla chips
1 bunch fresh cilantro
1 (15 ounce) can olives (black)
1 (15 ounce) can corn
1 package cherry tomatoes
2 yellow bell peppers (or any color really)
32 ounces mild salsa
3 avocados (black skinned kind, ripe)

Steps:

  • Equipment: 2 deep lasagne pans.
  • On the bottom of each pan, spread a layer or two of chips, flattening as needed.
  • I used about 5 oz of the chips in each pan.
  • Drop spoonfuls of refried beans atop the chips layer, using 16 oz in each pan.
  • Once you've got all of the spoonful drops down, use the back of the spoon to spread the refried beans around more evenly.
  • Pour 8 oz salsa over each pan, and spread about.
  • Over each pan, crumble 2.5 oz of chips.
  • Layer 7.5 oz of the corn in each pan.
  • Chop up the bell peppers, and layer them evenly in the 2 pans.
  • Chop up the avocadoes and olives, and layer them evenly in the pans.
  • Chop up the cilantro, and sprinkle it over the pans.
  • Using the remaining refried beans, drop spoonfuls atop the pans, and spread them around.
  • (They won't cover the whole surface; that's ok).
  • Spread the remaining salsa in a thin layer across the top of each pan.
  • Chop the cherry tomatoes, and sprinkle those over the top of each pan.
  • Crumble the rest of the chips, and sprinkle those over the top.
  • Bake at 450 degrees for about 1/2 hour, maybe more (keep an eye on it after the first 20 minutes as ovens can vary); I turn the oven off once the top layer of chips is lightly browned and a forkful swiped out of the bottom of the pan is hot.
  • (Note- Don't worry too much about the quantities of ingredients; this is not a recipe where precision matters. If you have more or less of something, it'll still taste good).
  • Enjoy!

THE BOMB SAUSAGE EGG CASSEROLE WITH SECRET PARTY INGREDIENTS



The Bomb Sausage Egg Casserole With Secret Party Ingredients image

This riff on the sausage/egg casserole was born tonight and caused us to fall off our chairs. Caught lightning in a bottle with this so will notate exactly what I did. NOTE: there are many recipes with a number of these basic ingredients. Since there were a few new elements, significantly varied portions and particular techniques used, I'm listing it as a separate recipe.

  • THE EGG MIX.
  • -beat the five eggs.
  • -add milk and half & half.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Casserole Dish: Select a casserole dish that is large enough to accommodate all the ingredients without overcrowding and deep enough to prevent spills.

  • Don't Overcook: Casseroles are typically cooked in a low to moderate oven for a longer period of time. Avoid overcooking, as this can result in dry, tough ingredients.
  • Use Fresh Herbs and Spices: Fresh herbs and spices can elevate the flavor of any casserole. Add them during the cooking process to infuse the dish with their عطر and flavor.
  • Garnish Before Serving: Before serving, garnish the casserole with fresh herbs, grated cheese, or a sprinkle of paprika to enhance its visual appeal.
