CHICKEN MACARONI CASSEROLE

CHICKEN MACARONI CASSEROLE

 

Here’s how to whip up this comforting dish:

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 1x

Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 2 cups uncooked macaroni
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 can (10.75 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can (10.75 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

 

  1. Prepare the Pasta: Cook the macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool.

  2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, shredded chicken, both cans of soup, milk, and cheddar cheese. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder for added flavor.

  3. Assemble the Casserole: Transfer the macaroni mixture to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.

  4. Add the Topping: In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with melted butter until well combined. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole to create a crispy layer.

  5. Bake: Place the dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly, and the breadcrumb topping has turned golden brown.

  6. Serve and Enjoy: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. This brief resting period helps the ingredients set, making it easier to serve.
