Cornchip Casserole

This is a family favorite!

Cornchip Casserole

cooked and shredded chicken

can of cream of chicken soup (or homemade equivalent)

1 soup can of milk

half of a pound of velveeta (or generic equivalent)

1-2 cans of diced green chiles

1-2 tsp each of garlic powder and onion powder

Mix it all together in a saucepan and simmer on low/medium until the cheese is melted and everything is mixed well.  

Crush up half a bag of cornchips and sprinkle on the bottom of a greased 9x13 baking dish. Pour chicken mixture over corn chips. Bake at 350deg F for about 20-25 minutes. Top with the rest of the crushed cornchips. Serve.

Sometimes I am lazy and don't bother baking it. We just toss corn chips into a bowl and top with the chicken mixture and eat it. Its delicious either way!

You can use cheese whiz in place of the velveeta or you can make your own homemade cheese sauce made with a roux and shredded cheese. I have not done that tho. I have done the cheez whiz but only because that's what the original recipe called for way back when the book came out when I was a kid. I know I tweaked it so much over the years that this is my own recipe now and not much like the one I found in that old cookbook. We like my version best anyways.
