Mexican Dorito Casserole

Serves 4-6

2 c. shredded cooked chicken
1 c. shredded cheese (or more if you are a cheese hound)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
1 can Ro-tel tomatoes (canned tomatoes with jalepenos-mild)
1/2 packet taco seasoning (or more- to taste)
Bag of Doritos (I used cheese, the recipe didn't specify)

1. Pre-heat oven to 350-f degrees.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except Doritos.

3. In a greased 2 qt baking dish, put a layer of crushed Doritos (about 2 cups), then a layer of the chicken mixture. Repeat once more, ending with a layer of chicken mixture. Top with more shredded cheese, cover, and bake for 30-35 minutes, till bubbling hot.

I found this recipe on Pinterest - pinner:  JamHands

Thoughts:  I think next time I will add black beans and frozen corn.  This dish seemed to be missing something - I may also add a little picante sauce next time as well.

A good strategy for dieting, by the way: Eating more glucomannan causes you to feel full (physically) before you've eaten very many calories. So your brain is somewhat tricked into thinking you ate a huge meal, but in reality the caloric energy in that meal is dramatically reduced compared to a traditional pasta meal.
