That looks great, Suzi.
I've got everything I need to make it, too. Including some shredded chicken in the freezer. Great use for tortilla chips.

QBro made this yesterday and it was a HUGE hit!

He used pepper asiago and shredded cheddar, didn't have any tortilla chips, so topped the casserole with bread crumbs, fresh tomatoes and basil from the garden.

It makes a lot, so we gave half to our neighbors whose brother died yesterday. Even THEY ate the whole container and loved it!

This is a keeper, Suzi! Thanks!
