For a spicier kick, add a dash of your favorite hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture. Feel free to substitute the processed cheese spread with shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican cheese blend for a more authentic flavor. To prepare ahead, assemble the casserole and store it covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an extra 15-20 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. Serve with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, chopped cilantro, or sliced green onions.
