Are you a die hard football fan that likes to yell at the TV to try and encourage the players or are you the football foodie who stands near the snacks and devours them all as quickly as possible?

Are you more inclined to take a siesta after a foodie fiesta on game day or the type to jump up and down when a touchdown is scored? I bet you can guess which one of these categories I fall into... But the real question here, regardless of your football watching style, is whether or not you like quick and easy food that you can bring with you to a friend's place on game day?!

As you probably already guessed, football season is all about the food to me... I suppose you could say I've become a bit of a tailgate food fanatic and I've been known to get down on some stadium chow as well. While both of these junk foods are delish, sometimes I like to surprise family with something homemade and delicious!

Today I'm going to share one of my favorite foods to bring with me when we are invited to watch the game at a friend's place... It's only polite to add a delicious dish to the snack table when we show up and THIS ridiculously cheesy and perfectly spicy dish is one of the first to be eaten, each & every time! While this is a great surprise to bring with you to a friend's, I'll be honest and share that I often make this recipe to have a little fiesta of a meal while watching the game at home as well!

With just a handful of ingredients that you can quickly grab at Walmart, this recipe is SO easy to prep and it's so flavorful in each bite, definitely a recipe you'll want to make again and again.

For My Spicy Mexican Chicken Casserole you will need:

1 cup Pace® Picante (Medium)
2-3 Chicken Breast, Boiled & Shredded
1 Can of Cream of Chicken Soup
1/2 Can Black Beans
1 Package of Mexican Cheese
3 handfuls Cheesy Chips
Sour Cream & Avocado (optional)

You'll begin this recipe by preheating the oven to 350 degrees and combining the shredded chicken, cheese, black beans, and Pace® in one large mixing bowl. Set aside.

Grab the bowl of cheesy chips and crush gentle into small pieces. Now set this bowl aside. Pour your chicken & Pace® mixture into a casserole dish. Cover with a light layer of cheesy chips.

Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, remove from oven & add a light layer of cheese, place back in oven for a few more minutes. Serve with a little avocado, sour cream, and a tad bit more Pace® Picante and you're all set!

Enjoy!

It's THAT easy to make this sinfully delicious meal. Are you wanting to surprise your friends and family with a new recipe this football season? Give this Spicy Mexican Chicken Casserole a try, but first, tell me all about your favorite tailgating and/or football watching food!
