This recipe is delicious and incredibly easy to make! We loved it so much, I made a second batch the day after I made the first! I made it almost exactly as the recipe directed, with one exception being that I used Pepper Jack cheese (rather than Monterey Jack), since I had it on hand. The second time I made the recipe, I made a couple other substitutions, just to use up some other items in my pantry. I used 2 cans of Cream of Celery soup (in place of the Cream of Mushroom and Cream of Chicken that the recipe suggests.) I also used exclusively cheddar cheese, since I had a lot in the fridge. It turned out well even with those changes. When I make this again, I'll use Pepper Jack and Cheddar; that really povided nice flavor, color and texture!

I decided to make this for my Bro-in-laws B.D. I was distracted the entire day, overcooked the rice etc....So I ended up just mixing everything together and topped it with the cheese. Everybody gave it thumbs up. I don't like to change recipes and then review them but I basically used all the main ingredients and it turned out fine, so I guess the moral of the story is this one is really hard to screw up.

Delicious! I did make changes with the help of a few other reviews & I added a few time savers. Every weekend I roast a chicken to use for several dishes for lunch & dinner- chicken salad, tetrazzini, etc. So I used already roasted chicken & just sauteed with low sodium taco seasoning (but tempted to try without to see if that's necessary). I used 1.5 boil in a bag brown rices. I used the Campbell Select soups for lower sodium and only used 3 cups of cheese (but am thinking of trying only 2 cups next time- was very rich and cheesy). The next day we had it for lunch in whole wheat wraps! I also may try it next time adding corn and black or refried beans- think it would add something. Thanks for the recipe!

I love this recipe and made some changes. I double the recipe for my large family and add 1 can of corn and 1 can of blackbeans to the cream mix. I also saute the onion in 2 packets of taco seasoning. Then I add it to the cream mix. I use this mixture to make burritos and add sour cream and shredded lettuce to top it off. My family LOVES it and ask me to make it often. (It just makes a heap ton of dishes that my sister helps clean :))

I don't know what happened but I thought this was bland. I tried the rotel, but it just did not taste as good as it sounded.

I made this recipe last night and it came out amazing! I added black beans and a couple of other seasonings including a half of cap full of smoke to the soup and salsa mixture to give it more of a smokey southwestern taste.I also cut done on the salsa, I used a little bit over a cup because i didnt want it to be to saucy. Everyone had first and seconds. There were hardly any left overs!

My husband said, "This is killer." I don't get that reaction with every casserole. :) I made a few changes: 1) I omitted the cream of chicken soup (kinda grosses me out) and substituted a can of creamed corn for it, (slightly drained). 2) I added a diced red pepper, which added flavor, color and nutrition. 3) I used one large bone-in, skin-on chicken breast, broiled in water for 40 minutes (any less, and it won't be cooked through) and shredded that, then added it to some leftover taco-seasoned shredded pork loin and black beans mixture. 4) Ate it with Fritos sprinkled on top. Made altogether, this was spicy, flavorful, and a "killer" keeper. :) Thanks for the recipe!
