Tammy: This casserole gets layered in the slow cooker. Definitely no stirring needed on this one! I love the meld of flavors in this meal. And it isn’t overly spicy, which is good for me, ‘coz I’m a wimp for spicy foods. Kids and adults will appreciate this for dinner.

Assembly Directions:
In a large bowl, mix together the chicken, soup, tomatoes and tapioca. Stir until well mixed.

Freezing Directions:
Put the chicken mixture in a one-gallon freezer bag. Seal, label and freeze.

Serving Directions:
Thaw the chicken mixture at least overnight in the refrigerator. Spray the inside of a 3 quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Tear 2 tortillas into pieces and line the bottom of the crock. Add 1/3 of the chicken mixture, 1/3 of the chopped onion, and 2/3 C. of cheese. Repeat the layers of torn tortillas, chicken mixture, onion and cheese two more times. Cover and cook on Low for 6 hours or on High for 3 hours.

Comments:
* = Ro-tel is a brand name for canned diced tomatoes with diced chili peppers added.
Another family favorite! I really like how the flavors of this recipe meld together. I’m a wimp for spicy foods, and this wasn’t too spicy for me at all. One recipe of the chicken mixture that gets frozen equals 6 C. If you make a double batch in a 6 quart slow cooker, use 9 tortillas… 3 in each layer.
