Comfort Food
We know that all chicken casseroles are comforting. They are the epitome of comfort food. But these two casseroles are comfort food taken to the NEXT LEVEL. Perfect for a cold night, anytime of year.

Mexican Fiesta
I love Mexican food, and I love casseroles. It’s only natural to combine the two!!
Nacho Chicken: With the use of trending superfood cauliflower, this is a lighter take on a traditional casserole, but it doesn’t skimp on any flavor (see: cheese)!
