I am so excited to try this recipe for our family! This looks like a win and affordable! Thanks, from one momma to another!
I love this!! Saved it in my top favs!! Wonderful flavor! Will make again soon!!
5 stars! This is amazing! Absolutely love it!!
This recipe was so delicious and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written.
My husband and son love this recipe and its so easy to put together! Do you know if it’s possible to make this as a freezer casserole? Have you experimented with that a bit? I’d love to just have one ready to go in the freezer but not sure how the bisquick would hold up being thawed and reheated….. thanks for any input!
My question, also.
Did you ever try freezing this? I’ve been wondering the same thing…!!
This is another one of your recipes that my family, especially my husband, adores!
A go-to even the 1.5 year old loves! I’m always following Julia for new ideas!
I found your youtube channel a while ago now. 90% of our meals are what i’ve learned from you. My family loves the recipes so much!
Julia, you’ve done it again! This was so different and so delicious. My whole family loved it; even my extremely picky eater. I couldn’t find that cream cheese due to shortages but I had french onion dip so used that & added fresh chives from my herb garden. This is a keeper for my mealtime rotation for sure!
This is one of my husbands most requested dinners! So delicious and filling! ((Just leave out the shredded cheeses from creamy mixture as those will go on top of casserole)) thank you for another delicious recipe 🤩
This is without a doubt, one of the most delicious and easy recipes I have ever made and eaten. Oh my gosh.
The only thing I would suggest is make sure you keep the cheese separate until the end and do not include it in the creamy mixture….(like I did) and then just sprinkle it over the top right before you bake it. It is simply divine.
I love this recipe Thank you so much 🙂

I found you on YouTube and I’m so glad I tried this recipe! It is so easy and absolutely delicious. My husband loves it, too. This will definitely be a staple in our monthly menu rotation. I can’t wait to try more of your recipes. Thanks for sharing them!
My wife and I were amazed at the taste of this dish. My wife does usually doesn’t like chilis but in this case she wanted seconds. We added sour cream as a side dip. Thank you for putting this recipe out for all to try.
HUGE smiles at our house for this one. And it became a meal two-fer. I got started late trying to make this for lunch, and decided to just make a half recipe in an 8×8 pan for supper, using the other half of the meat/onion/Rotel mixture (before adding corn) as filling for lunchtime hardshell tacos. Continued on late in the afternoon with prep of the crust and creamy topping mixtures.
My total prep time was longer because I did not want to go grocery shopping so chose to use a homemade taco-spice combo, a homemade Bisquick-equivalent (one that used butter) and an onion & chive cream cheese using ingredients on-hand, that started with a block of plain cream cheese.
Two years later and another John Wayne casserole enjoyed (along with, again, the half-recipe of meat mixture as tacos for lunch.) I sliced an avocado and also had some chopped cucumber and small tomatoes to serve as cold sides for the meal.
