Sandy's Casserole

Well, I used the rotini pasta as it shows in the picture. The family won't eat mushrooms so omitted that part, but I added one teaspoon of minced garlic and split the cheese. half cheddar and half Italian blend. haven't gotten into it yet, but boy does it smell fantastic. Second time around on this one, but I will say filling and tastes great. we

I made it for the first time today and made the following changes: I partially cooked my pasta due to some comments saying it was still hard after baking the casserole. I sauteed the onion in butter, I also used part processed cheese and part cheddar and I used baked rotisserie chicken from my favorite big box store meat dept. I heated the soup, milk and cheese just enough to melt the cheese, then stirred everything else in the recipe together and poured it into the casserole dish to bake for approx 35-40 min. It was amazing!

Yum! Very delicious I’m not a fan of mushrooms so I diced up black olives instead. Next time I’d like to add some mild green chilies to give it a kick.

I love super easy meals, and this one definitely is! It's so good too! The best part is I had almost everything I needed for it already. Now as for modifications my husband and I don't like mushrooms so I replaced one can of cream of chicken with cream of mushroom to hide it and didn't add the real mushrooms. I drained the 10 oz can of chunk chicken I had and drained and added a can of corn as well. I filled both cans of soup with milk to try to get at least most of the leftover soup in and then I used maybe half of a 1/4 cup of minced onion instead of real onion. I added maybe half of a tablespoon of minced garlic as well. and since it looked like there was too much milk I added more noodles maybe 3/4 cup to 1 cup extra. I wrapped it in tin foil, cooked it for 25 mins, added some garlic powder and garlic salt since it seemed too onion-y and stirred it, cooked it for another 25 mins. Unwrapped it cooked it for 10 mins, tasted the noodles and they were a little firm still, covered the top with more cheese and cooked it for another 10 mins. It was perfect and delicious! Not to mention there's enough leftovers for tomorrow night so I can get out of cooking again lol. I think next time I'll add more minced garlic at the beginning so I won't have to add garlic powder or salt next time and maybe more chicken as well. I'm definitely making it again though, I loved the simplicity and the whole family loved it! Thanks for the recipe, I'll definitely add this to my dinner rotation!
