Mexican Spaghetti

Submitted by TPubmgjbd

"A good way to use up leftover rotisserie chicken. I've tried this recipe the original way and the low fat way and it's good both ways with the only difference being that I prefer regular cheddar cheese."

ingredients

• 1 large onion, chopped

• 1 1⁄2 cups picante sauce

directions

1. In a large skillet, saute onion and garlic in butter.
2. Add chicken broth and whole tomatoes with juice.

6. Sprinkle cheese over top of casserole.
7. Bake covered at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes until cheese is melted.

took this to a pot luck at work and everyone loved it. Easy to make, I used hot picante sauce to kick it up a little.
