Dorito Cheesy Chicken Casserole

Pillsbury knows we all like chips, so why not add them to a casserole. Who knew a bag of chips could be baked right into a delicious dinner casserole? Use Cool Ranch in this cheesy chicken bake, but try it with any flavor you like. Alfredo sauce is the secret ingredient that helps bind it all together, but you’d never know it was there!
