This ULTIMATE Chicken Casserole is full with taste! Soft noodles, shredded chicken, bacon, corn, and more!
I know what you’re thinking: “Not another casserole!” But believe me, you don’t want to miss this one! My husband, who doesn’t like casseroles, loved it!
Last week, I was in one of those moods where I just didn’t want to think about food. But since I was the parent, I had to make something!
I found a bag of pre-cooked, shredded chicken in my freezer and decided to make a casserole. It’s easy, tasty, kid-friendly, and usually leaves extra for the next day!
My husband walked into the kitchen and asked me what I was preparing as I was mixing the ingredients. When he found out I was making a casserole, he wasn’t very happy, but he was cautiously hopeful.
To explain why he doesn’t like casseroles, I made them almost every night while my kids were babies. We all felt a little worn out because we had to eat leftovers for lunch the next day.
I used to make casseroles every day, but now I only make them once in a while. Comfort cuisine at its best! My husband still hasn’t said he likes casseroles, but he ate two servings of this one!
