This a really good casserole which can be prepared ahead of time and cooked later. Re-heats well too.

I was disappointed with this casserole. The flavors were bland and the pasta was overcooked.

This casserole was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably use less chili powder next time.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover chicken or beef. I also like to add some chopped vegetables to it.
