I made this one night, trying to use leftovers and do something easy. I took a cue from a beef casserole that I have had before. Instead of the chiles, you could use a 1/2 cup or so of salsa. Ingredients:
1 1/2-2 cups shredded chicken (i like using the leftover's from mirj's crockpot chicken #18787) |
2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained & rinsed |
1 (4 ounce) can of chopped green chilies |
1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese or 1 cup mexican blend cheese |
30 tater tots |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
2. Combine chicken and beans in bowl.
3. Spray 13x9 casserole dish with non-stick spray.
4. Layer the casserole as follows: chicken/beans (on bottom), then chiles, followed by cheese, then tater tots.
5. Cover with tin foil and bake for 35-40 minutes, until cooked through.
6. Remove foil, turning oven up to 425°F.
7. Using a fork gently flatten out the tater tots and return casserole to oven.
8. Cook until tater tots get brown and crispy, about 5-10 minutes.
