Chris works for ConAgra Foods. One of my many favorite ConAgra products is Ro-tel. I love all you can do with Ro-tel tomatoes... and they have so many yummy varieties. I have lots of recipes that "call for" Ro-tel. I often make King Ranch Chicken and I love White Queso. You can totally be creative.
Chris was visiting with a co-worker and she shared one of her favorite Ro-tel recipes. I wasn't sure if I would love the Nacho Cheese Doritos in a dish... but this turned out great. The teachers loved it and Chris finished off the extras for dinner. I made the meat mixture the night before and then layered the Doritoes and chicken mixture and baked it at school. I loved making the meat mixture early and then layering it right before baking!
Enjoy this new recipe. I think all kiddos.. and most adults like Nacho Cheese Doritoes!
Also, please make that Cranberry Salsa you see in the picture. It is SO yummy - perfect holiday dish!
Dorito Chicken Casserole
2 cups shredded cooked chicken (I used diced chicken breast meat)
2 cups Mexican cheese, shredded and divided
1 (10 oz ) can Cream of Chicken Soup
1/2 cup milk ( I had cream :)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 can Ro-tel tomatoes, drained
1/2 packet taco seasoning
1 large 10 oz bag Nacho Doritos, crushed
shredded lettuce, optional
diced tomatoes, optional
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together chicken, 1 cup of the cheese, soup, milk, sour cream, Ro-tel tomatoes and taco seasoning. Mix well.
Grease a 2 quart baking dish. add a layer of crushed Doritos, a layer of the chicken mixture and then another layer of crushed Doritos and the last of the chicken mixture. Top with a cup of the cheese and sprinkle with a few more crushed Doritos. Cover and bake at 350 for 25- 30 minutes. ( I didn't cover mine and it turned out great) Remove from oven. Garnish with chopped lettuce and diced tomato if desired.
