Mexican Chicken Bubble Up Casserole

Y’all want to talk about an easy casserole to throw together.  Bubble up casseroles are just that and they are all the hit right now.  This is my Mexican Bubble Up Casserole that I did with chicken, but you could just as easily do it with ground beef or ground sausage.  Mix it up and season as your family may like.  I know this is going to become one of your family favorites.
