How to Make Fiesta Chicken Casserole in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
So, I recently made our Fiesta Crock Pot Beef Casserole and it had my family fighting over the leftovers. That got me to thinking…what if I tried this out with chicken. We love chicken, and we love the original recipe, so I thought it had to be a hit, and boy was I right! Yum!
This casserole has a lot of liquid in it, even with the step for you to drain the beans, so I usually serve it up with a spoon over my crushed Doritos. It all comes together beautifully and is so incredibly delicious. This is one of the few recipes where my kiddos will eat tomatoes and beans without complaining once. They love it (and so does their Momma and their Daddy!). I hope you and your family enjoy this recipe as much as my family does!
