Tex Mex Chicken

1 recipe cream of mushroom soup 1 cup corn

½ cup chopped red pepper 1 small can sliced olives

½ cup chopped orange pepper 2 cups cooked rice

4 cloves minced garlic ½ cup cooked pinto beans

2 Tbsp butter 1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. Prep work: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 2 quart square casserole dish with non-stick spray.
2. Precook: If you haven’t already, mix up the cream of mushroom soup recipe. Also cook up the chicken, beans and rice.
3. Saute veggies: Saute red pepper, orange pepper and garlic in the butter until veggies are tender.
4. Mix it all up: In a large bowl, stir all the ingredients together (the soup, sauteed veggies, chicken, corn, olives, rice, beans, cheese, and taco seasoning).
5. Pour it into casserole dish and bake: Pour the mix into the casserole dish, and then bake at 375 degrees for about 30-40 minutes.
6. Sprinkle with cheese: When finished baking you can sprinkle it with more cheese for prettiness factor.

Notes:

This recipe is still a bit of a work in progress, so I may keep tweaking it. You really can add as much or as little taco seasoning as suits your bladder best. I have made a homemade taco seasoning that I use that adds a little kick, but isn't as bad as most. You could probably omit it too if you wanted.
