Chicken Enchilada Casserole

I actually used left-over turkey for this recipe and it worked out great. I wanted to make enchiladas but I didn't have tortillas on hand, so I ended up making this yummy casserole.

Ingredients:
4 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1 medium onion, chopped and sauteed
1 can green chiles
dash chili powder
dash garlic powder
1 - 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
crunched up tortilla chips

Directions:
1. Mix first 7 ingredients in a bowl
2. Place layer of chips on the bottom of a 9X13 baking dish
3. Drop soup mixture on top of chips in dish
4. Sprinkle cheese on top
5. Add another layer of chip pieces
6. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Bake an additional 10 minutes without foil if you want extra crispy chips on top
7. Serve with salsa for a spicier version
8. Yummy served with cooked carrots.

My hints for planning a menu full of variety

Make a list of all your family's favorite recipes, separated into categories such as chicken, beef, meatless
Make a list of all the recipes you want to try, separated into categories.
Plan a menu...1 month is best, 1 week will do. Then you will be able to plan on trying new recipes and have the ingredients on hand
Use your lists when planning the menu, making sure to mix favorites in with new recipes.
Write the menu on the calendar where you have marked all the family's schedules so you can plan accordingly
Don't forget to plan a few days for left-overs or easy meals. Also plan a night to go OUT to your favorite restaurant.
Keep a notepad on the fridge to mark down what you will buy at the grocery store. Throughout the week add to the list as you remember things. Once a week, before you go shopping, look over your menu and the corresponding recipes, adding any needed ingredients you will need to buy at the grocery store.
