Chicken Spaghetti Casserole
Ingredients
- 16 oz spaghetti, broken into pieces (whole-grain if possible)

- 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1 can rotel, drained
- 2 cans condensed cream of mushroom (can substitute cream of chicken)
- 2 cups chicken broth/stock
- 1-1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese, divided
- 1 cup diced or grated Velveeta cheese
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions

- Cook spaghetti in salted boiling water to al dente (follow package instructions). Drain and return to pot.
- Add chicken, bell pepper, celery, onion, Rotel, condensed soup, broth/stock, 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and all of the Velveeta to pasta pot. Toss to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer spaghetti mixture to prepared dish.
- Sprinkle remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese over top (or more to taste!).

- Serve with some home-milled, fresh-baked bread and dive in!
Notes
NOTES:
I love this recipe because I can use my own canned chicken and canned stock. Using my own canned goods, this is a quicker meal to make!
Feel free to add your own variations like Ritz crackers on top or homemade bread crumbs. You can also use different cheeses as well!
