That sounds really good, Billie. I have a recipe that I use all the time that is similar, except it uses Fritos and doesn't have the green beans in it....

Chicken Casserole

4 to 5 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 small can diced Ortega chilies
1 can cream of celery (or mushroom) soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup milk
1 pkg (8 oz. or more) mild or medium cheddar cheese
1 (9¾ oz.) bag of Fritos Corn Chips (or enough to
completely cover the bottom of casserole dish)
1 small can sliced black olives, drained (optional)

Cook chicken breasts and dice into bite
sized pieces. Mix chicken, chilies, soups
(undiluted), olives and milk in a bowl. Put chips
in bottom of a 13X9 inch baking dish, then pour
mixture evenly over chips. Top with grated
cheese. Bake in a 350 degree oven for
30 to 40 minutes or until hot through and cheese is melted.

(I think this is even better warmed
up the next day. Do not add salt until
you taste the casserole. Often the Fritos
are salty enough.)

Yum...I think I know what I will be fixing for dinner tonight - or, I might try yours for a change. It sounds really good. :-)

Oh, I like black olives, so that sounds like a great addition. This could be done with the canned white meat chicken, too, in case you didn't want to cook chicken breasts. I know the chicken breasts from the market are way more economical than buying enough in the can! Just sayin'.....I look for the easy way about seven or eight times out of ten.

Now, send me a slice of that banana split pie - you can slide the coolwhip off the top and put "real" on it. :)

All three of your recipes look good, I hope you will post them on the Survival thread.

LOL, yes, that is how I think of it, as feeding a family every day is an act of survival.

Mixed in are recipes for survival foods also.
