I 'adopted' this recipe yesterday. It was supposed to be chicken lasagne, but after making it, I think it would make a much better casserole with more noodles. The flavors are really good, so I didn't change much of the basic ingredients. I also think it would be good with a few jalapenos thrown in... lol
