Chicken Frito Casserole

This recipe is one of my favorites that my mom makes and is my go-to comfort meal. She would always make it on those busy nights when us kids were either cheerleading, playing football, or working the concession stand. This feeds about four people with some leftovers, so double the ingredients for more spicy, cheesy goodness!

• 2 cans of green chiles (4 oz)

• 2 cans cream of chicken soup

• 2 cans cream of mushroom soup

• 1 tsp of tabasco sauce

• 2 tsp garlic powder

• 2 tsp onion powder

• 2 tsp chili powder

• Shredded cheese (8oz)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spread Fritos into 9x13 pan

2. Mix all other ingredients into a bowl

3. Spread contents of bowl on top of Fritos (do not mix)

4. Sprinkle cheese on top and bake for 25 minutes.

• Half gallon of apple cider

• 2 plates

Instructions:

1. Pour caramel sauce and cinnamon sugar mix onto separate plates.
