No. 4: Rachael's Chipotle Chicken Nacho Casserole
Who doesn’t love nachos? Rachael "tiles" her chips, smoky chipotle chicken, and cheese so that the ingredients are well distributed, heats, and then tops with salsa, jalapenos and sour cream. Nothing wrong with any of that!

Want carbonara AND mac and cheese? Why choose, when you can have both! And what a dish this is, with the mac and cheese being suspended in a fluffy soufflé.
No. 8: Rachael's Tuna Casserole
This classic Tuna Casserole recipe is a throwback! Sliced, white button mushrooms are browned and added with onion, garlic cloves, celery, dry Sherry, fresh bay and thyme.

Then heavily sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella cheese until it’s bubbly and brown.
No. 10: Buffalo Chicken Potato Casserole
This mouth-watering casserole is definitely a treat! You just layer rotisserie chicken and potatoes, with a delish buffalo bechamel sauce and cheese. Delish!
