Yes and it's really good.

My mom shared this recipe with me. It's a hit whenever I make it.
She found it in Woman's Day magazine back in 1986.

As Rachel Ray would say, "yumm-o"! We'll be trying this soon!

I have a chicken enchilada casserole that is fairly easy, and tastes authentic. If you're "clickable", and I can e-mail it to you, I will.

Your bunco nights sound too fun!
