This is wonderful. I substituted 1/4 cup fresh roasted green chili for the canned, and used an 18oz can of enchilada sauce. It was absolutely wonderful!

Fast and pantry friendly! Great weeknight fall back on meal. I had some cooked chicekn (leftover) and the rest was on hand. Thank GOD for this recipe bc I was in a whirlwind trying to figure out what I was going to fix with no time and no energy! I used Hatch green chili's and Hatch Green Enchilada sauce. I squeezed 1/2 a lime I had left in the fridge into the sauce to give it some 'homemade' freshness. After reading other reviews I was worried this would be lacking in flavor- NOT at all. The tang of the sour cream was strong and the green chilis added so much Pizzazz! PLEASE do make sure to add salt and pepper though. That made a HUGE difference. I also chopped one small onion and nuked in for 2 minutes in some water to cook it, then drained it and left it in the strainer until the pasta was ready. Once the pasta was drained I used the pasta pot to mix everything in before pouring into the greased pan. I then topped the casserole with some seasoned bread crumbs just to make it look prettier and to add a little crunch. It took about 30 minutes in the oven to get nicely heated through and the bread crumbs a little brown. Long enough for me to sit down and have a glass of wine- or three! lol Next time I think I will try adding some sauteed trinity (celery, onion, bell pepper) to the mix. BTW the pepper that we love to use and added a TON of great flavor here is McCormick's Pepper Blend Spice Grinder- has Black, Green, Pink peppercorns and coriander. Adds awesome flavor to lots of stuff! You came to the rescue my dear fellow Texan! Thank you so very much! Hook 'em hun!

Wow! Really good!I say this because The Husband said that this must become a regular when summer's over. I used chicken that I cooked in broth with garlic, cumin and chili powder then pulled apart.Did everything else as listed but had a little less of the noodles, so it was real creamy. We almost ate the whole thing! Thanks! I really will be making this again...
