Delicious and easy chicken noodle with cheese casserole.
This chicken, noodles and cheese casserole really hits the spot! It's quick, easy, inexpensive and tastes great. I love easy recipes but they have to taste good. There are two teenagers in my family and if you know teens, you can't get them to eat something they don't like! This is a recipe where they help themselves to the leftovers. And, that is a good thing. Because sometimes I just don't know what else to feed those always hungry stomachs.
When you make this casserole, you throw in the noodles uncooked. All these years of making casseroles and I had absolutely no idea you can just add uncooked noodles! I still get excited about this shortcut. It saves about 20 minutes of prep. time, where you don't need to boil those noodles. And, you don't have the noodle boiling pot to clean!
There are some veggies in here, but for some of us, a smaller portion and a salad is a good idea. {sighhhhh} Oh for the metabolism of a teenager!!

Just an FYI, I have a very similar recipe that was quite popular when I shared it. It's a Ham and Swiss Cheese Noodle Casserole. I've linked the title for you, so just go ahead and click through on it to get there. Both these recipes are equally good. And, if you haven't noticed, I love the fact that you don't need to precook the noodles!!

I was just wondering what to make for dinner tomorrow night…problem solved….the clincher was the cut up carrots….I had just cleaned out my pantry and found a can of pinto beans and one of white beans..so was a no–brainer…but I like the idea of the carrots…also the olives…never have used it in chili before, so will be a new experience…
