Chicken Fiesta Chili Mac
"This is super good. I used Adobo Seasoning from Penzeys to season the chicken and some leftover chili in my freezer. I also used Ronzoni Smart Taste mini penne in place of the elbows. Recipe comes from "Velveeta -- Crowd Pleasing Recipes"."

Great casserole. I usually cut recipes back for just 2 of us, but made the whole recipe for this. Glad I did. My grandson inhaled this and it was all gone in the first day! The only change that I made was to also use red and yellow peppers with the green since I had some on hand. Thanks for sharing, Chef Petunia. Made for Spring PAC 2013.

I love food and I love to cook. I enjoy trying new and different foods and ingredients, enjoy traveling, festivals that gear toward food or drink, camping and being with family & friends.
I am a serious cookbook and recipe collector, love my felines and try to balance my life to live to it's fullest.
