This casserole is one of my family's favorite dishes. I usually don't have leftovers. I had just finished making a turkey earlier in the week, that I bought last year. In place of the chicken, I used turkey; it tasted great. I like that you can throw in any kind of veggies that you want; it's great for the little bit of leftovers. The recipe is adapted from Pioneer Woman.
Ingredients:
14.5 oz spaghetti**
1/2 onion diced
1/2 cup green bell pepper
1/2 cup red bell pepper
1/2 cup fresh chopped spinach
1/4 cup corn (optional)
1/3 cup green chilies diced make your own
1 can cream of mushroom soup homemade
1 can cream of chicken soup homemade
2 cups milk*
1 can Campbell's Fiesta Nacho Cheese soup
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cups diced cooked chicken or turkey
Garnish with diced tomatoes and shredded cheese.
In one large pot, cook your spaghetti according to the directions on package. **I've also made it with bowtie pasta as well; it was a super-hit with one of my 4 boys, as he does not like spaghetti much.
In a small saucepan, saute the onion, peppers, spinach, corn, and green chilies until soft.
*If you are making your own cream of chicken soup, add 1/4 cup diced mushrooms. This will substitute the two canned cream soups and the 2 cups milk. You will not need to make the cream of mushroom soup. I love that I can throw it together, it's pretty forgiving. You only need to make one of the homemade soups. Hence, there's only 3 cups water and 1 cup milk, plus the seasoning and mushrooms.
In a large bowl, combine your soups, milk*, chicken, sour cream and the cooked veggies. Then, stir in the cooked spaghetti. It wasn't until just recently that I decided to add a sour cream to give it a more creamier flavor.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray with a nonstick cooking spray a 9x13 pan. Place the pasta into the pan. Cover and bake for about 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Garnish with the diced tomatoes and shredded cheese.
