Cheap Chicken Noodle Casserole Recipe

Everyone thought it took hours!

Perhaps it’s being from the UK but I don’t get cooking with canned veg and soup. Made this from scratch with the chicken, fresh carrots, peas mushrooms, onions, chicken stock, some light cream cheese, thyme, rosemary & garlic and it tasted wonderful, came together in 35 minutes and served with rice.

I used cream of mushroom soup and added a packet of Lipton’s dry onion soup and skipped the added salt. Then used half the bread cubes and added a cup of French’s dried onion rings. Crunchy, creamy, and absolutely delicious! I’ve tried different cheeses: havarti, Munster, and shredded mild cheddar. I liked them all.

Found another recipe that kids devoured. I used fresh carrots and frozen peas, just cooking the onion and carrots for a little before adding the chicken. I toasted some kaiser rolls and crushed them on top of the dish. Easy dish that made plenty for 5 kids.

I made this for my husband & I yesterday and I made a few changes - I used pre-cooked pieces of southwest chicken, I used heavy cream instead of milk, I used just peas (14.5 ozs),I added approx 6 oz of cream cheese, I sprinkled sharp cheddar on top instead of american, and I crumbled ritz crackers on top instead of bread crumbs. We both liked it but it was still lacking a little more flavor - next time I will add about 1/4 cup of sweet baby ray's vidalia onion sauce for a little more kick. Thanks for posting this recipe!

'++Good', what I also call lonely guy food. Really easy to make and very affordable. A little bland but that could have been due to my fear of salt. I added extra pepper and chili flakes upon serving up and I also added two cloves of garlic when I was cooking the chicken. I will break up the noodles next time and add mushrooms, broccoli, and a small leek and swap the milk for cream. that will make it +++good.

We substituted chopped broccoli florets (about one crown worth) for the peas and carrots, and used fusilli pasta and cheddar cheese (about 1 1/2 cups grated). It was delicious!

This is a good recipe! I did adapt to what I had on hand. I used cream of mushroom soup, a can of peas, 4 tbsp cream cheese, 1 cup milk, minced onion and mixed in with the noodles. I used some mozzarella cheese throughout the casserole, then put american slices on top, topped with french fried onions on top. YUMMY!

This is a great base, but I definitely made some changes. First, I use a full pound of chicken to and boil in chicken stock before cubing. Then I use the stock in place of milk. I also use 2 cans cream of chicken and leave off the cheese. I also found the cubed bread too fussy so I just sprinkle with Italian bread crumbs. This is a great recipe to make a double batch of. If you get a disposable casserole dish you can freeze it and have a ready-made casserole to just pop in the oven.

This was a great base recipe. I didn't have the exact ingredients so I winged it a bit. I didn't cream of chicken soup, so I used cream of mushroom and added a little chicken bouillon for a deeper flavor. I didn't have canned peas and canned carrots. I had fresh carrots so I sliced them up and sauteed them in a little butter. I also had some diced red bell pepper. I sauteed the diced onion and a little bell pepper. I threw in frozen peas. I put them in frozen, they thaw really quick in the hot liquid. I also used almond milk instead of cow milk. I didn't have croutons, so I did seasoned bread crumbs on top. It was really good and it is a great base recipe to work from. You can easily add different stuff in to this to change it up some.

It was okay, I did make a very few changes like using mushroom instead of chicken for the condensed soup and adding extra minced onion and sautéed mushrooms. I also followed others advice and added ritz crackers instead of white bread, and I also added french’s onions which really saved the dish. I just still don’t think it had enough flavor, my boyfriend agreed. I would in the future add more minced onion and more overall seasoning. I think it’s a good start to play around with, I wasn’t a fan of the canned vegetables though, ends up really mushy.

I liked it. The only things that I did differently from the original recipe was I used 1/4 c heavy cream for part of the milk, I used thyme and I used pepper jack cheese.

very easy, i used rotessier chicken made it even tastier.

I made it by the recipe and thought it was very tasty. Yes, I don't know how to cook, that's why I look at recipes. I will make again.

This recipe is ridiculously easy and surprisingly delicious.

Made this with Ramen noodles (which is what I had) it was good for a quick no frills meal. I'll do it again

Oh my goodness this was amazing. This is a recipe I will for sure make again. My husband and I loved it.

It was 'good'-but for us, not worth making again. We did use American Cheese as the original author of the recipe recommended. It was somewhat dry and just good flavor.

Easy to make and quite tasty. Leftovers did not warm up well. I might make it again with a few changes. Thanks for sharing.

I realy liked this recipe.
