The Ingredients You Will Need to Make the Big Family Chicken Fajita Pasta Casserole

If you want to make the Big Family Chicken Fajita Pasta Casserole as one of your large family recipe ideas, you should gather the following ingredients:

  • Boneless Chicken Breast. Purchase boneless chicken breast without the skin to prepare this fajita pasta casserole. Try making chicken in the instant pot and use the meat.
  • Green Bell Peppers. Remove the seeds and dice those green bell peppers down into small pieces for the pasta casserole.
  • Cream Cheese. Add cream cheese to the dish to make it cheesier and give it more flavor.
  • Rotini Pasta. Although you can choose any pasta that you have available to use, rotini is an excellent pasta use for this casserole.
  • Taco Seasoning. Do not forget to add taco seasoning to the dish to give it that fajita-style taste.
  • Fiesta Blend Cheese. Just like the cream cheese, adding the fiesta blend cheese brings flavor to the casserole.

If you have these ingredients and a few others, such as olive oil, diced onion, black beans, and freshly chopped cilantro, you will have just what you need to start making the Big Family Chicken Fajita Pasta Casserole.

Ways to Freeze and Store the Big Family Chicken Fajita Pasta Casserole

Keep the Big Family Chicken Fajita Pasta Casserole fresh by storing it properly. If you are holding it for three days or less, place a sheet of foil on top of your casserole dish and keep the meal in the fridge until you are ready to reheat it.

You can reheat it by placing it back in the oven for a few minutes. On the other hand, you may want to store the meal for longer than a few days. If you want to keep it for up to four months, put the casserole into a food storage container, and freeze it. You may need a large container to have enough space for the casserole because it is large enough to feed a big family.

Variations of the Big Family Chicken Fajita Pasta Casserole

You can make several variations of the Big Family Chicken Fajita Pasta Casserole. If you do not have rotini pasta, you can use elbow macaroni or any other pasta type you would prefer to use. While the recipe calls for a fiesta blend of cheese, you can use any of your favorite cheese blends, including a mix of Monterey Jack and sharp cheddar. You can add additional ingredients to the casserole, such as corn, diced tomatoes, and roasted red peppers.
