Great casserole! My family loves it.
Can I use Rotisserie Chicken?
Sure!
My family loves this
I have to try this one! I would love to have your best tuna casserole recipe also.
I make the same thing but instead of sour cream I use ricotta cheese
Mom used to fix something similar to this but it didn’t have any cheese or mushrooms in it. And instead of cracker crumbs on top, she used cornflakes! I may have to try this, sounds yummy!
wonder if you could substitute chicken for tuna
Yes, I think you could.
Wonder if it would be ok to omit the sour cream? My husband doesn’t like the flavor of sour cream.
Made this last night. My Hubby went back for seconds! (Good hit!) I loved it!
I like to put chopped waterchessnuts in this, a little bit of extra crunch
Great idea! I love water chestnuts 🙂
This reminds me of my Granny’s recipe. Yummy. Thank you for posting. I look forward to trying this. 🙂
I made the Chicken Noodle casserole tonight for dinner….realized I was almost out of cheddar cheese, so I improvised! I had some mozzarella and parmesan….just combined them all! I have to let you know, my hubby is sooooo picky and NEVER eats seconds! I mean NEVER!!!! He had two servings, so I’m guessing it was a big hit!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Blessings for a beautiful, happy & healthy 2013!!!
Thanks!

Made this for dinner last night with left over turkey. My entire family loved it!! The smell when taken out of the oven was wonderful. Will be a go to recipe for left over turkey and chicken. The almonds on top adds so much. Thanks for this recipe!!!

I haven’t had this dish in years…thanks for reminding me how good it is.
What a great way to use up left overs. I have plenty of turkey in my freezer.
been making it like this for years just done use mushrooms of any kind or the almonds.allergic to mushrooms and I don’t eat nuts. could be why I don’t use them lol
I’ve been looking for a chicken and noodle casserole recipe for a long time. I’m looking forward to making this. It reminds me of my Wednesday church suppers.
Sounds Delicious!
