Tips for Preparing Ahead and Freezing:
Preparing Ahead: You can prepare this dish up to 6 hours before baking. Preparing too far in advance will cause the noodles to soak up too much of the cream sauce. If you notice your dish needs more liquid add a splash of milk to the casserole dish and mix with a spoon before baking. Allow the casserole dish to sit on the counter while the oven is preheating to start to come to room temperature. This will help it bake a bit faster.
Freezing for Later: You can assemble all the ingredients for your casserole and then freeze it unbaked. If you want to freeze a baked casserole, let it cool before wrapping it and freezing. When baking a frozen casserole, you can either thaw it in the refrigerator the night before or you can pop it in the oven and then turn your oven on. This way the preheating slowly warms your dish before it starts baking. Additional bake time may be required so be sure to have a piece of tin foil ready if the top is beginning to brown too quickly. Give your casserole a quick stir halfway through baking if needed.

Very good! I only had peas so cut fresh carrots, and boiled until less than tender. Added diced red pepper – after removing carrots to a strainer, I put them in the hot carrot water for a few minutes. Took the advice of using one can of cream of mushroom and one can of cream of chicken soup. Also from another review, added more cheese on top and herbed breadcrumbs – hubby likes lots of cheese! Will be freezing two dishes since it made so much, plus have enough for lunch tomorrow! Enjoy!!!!
Insanely good! Making this for the third time!
I made this and brought it into work. It disappeared. Everyone loved it
Delicious ( but I added half a sweet onion since we have a “thing” for onions . Lol)
I MADE THIS AND MY HUSBAND LOVED IT. I did not have 2 cans of cream of chicken soup so used one can cream of mushroom soup and added a can of mushrooms also. It turned out wonderful after adding cracker crumbs with additional cheese under crumbs. He wants it again for lunch today. Great recipe!!
This recipe is phenomenal and so delicious! I added corn into my casserole and crushed up Ritz crackers as a light topping – this meal is like a warm blanket on a cold day, perfect for winter. Very easy to make, and simply delightful.
Are there tomatoes or red peppers in the casserole? I see red in the pics
I think those are carrots
I liked it. Easy to make & a nice flavor. A little too much for just my husband & myself without having a lot of leftovers. Anyone know if it freezes well? Only thing I might change is add more chicken only because my hubby like his meats & really want a big chunk in every bite. I ll do this again & thing this will work well for potlucks!
This looks creamy, delicious and easy to make, and versatile for other ingredients I might have on hand too….yum!
This was a hit with the kids, thanks
How much mayo? It’s not listed in the ingredients section… thank you and we are super excited to try it!
I second that! How much mayo?
It says in the ingredients 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
This looks so good and easy to make! Thanks for sharing!
This is one of my favorite go-tos for dinner. I pick up a rotisserie chicken on the way home and it’s on the table in no time. Love it!
Made it for the family and it was a hit!
Hi! This looks delicious … putting it on my meal plan for this week. I think the amount of mayo was omitted from the recipe. Would you mind telling me how much you use? Thanks so much!
Mine says in the ingredients 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
