Questions & Replies

Two questions: 1. What size casserole dish should this be made in? & 2. Should the can of Rotel be drained? I've noticed several reviewers commented that their finished "casserole" turned out more like soup. Could it be that the tomatoes should have been drained, even though that step isn't spelled out?

This has really great flavor. The original recipe called for 8 ounces of chips and a 9x13 which would have made a very thin layer of the meat sauce and cheese. I used an 8x8 with 4 ounces of chips and it was perfect for the sauce and would serve 5 as is or 6 with a side salad. I used 90% extra lean ground sirloin which reduced the calories and fat a little and I added a small can of green chiles. The avocado and sour cream (which were adds that I made) made it great!
