Chicken Noodle Casserole

Kelly's Korner is having a Dinner Recipe swap as part of her "Show Us Your Life" Friday series. I am joining the fun with a super easy recipe for Chicken Noodle Casserole! Check out more recipes at Kelly's Korner!

This is a great recipe to take to a family with a new baby, or after someone has surgery. It is easy, scrumptious, and even kids usually like it! Plus, you can easily keep all the ingredients on hand, in case you need a casserole fast!

1 family size can cream of chicken soup (or two regular sized cans)
1 pkg. kluski noodles (I use Mrs. Weiss.)
1 large can cooked chicken breast (or 2-3 cooked chicken breasts, cubed)
6-8 slices bread
1/2 stick butter

Cook noodles according to package directions. In a 9X13 pan, mix noodles, soup, and chicken. Toast the bread, then cut into bite-sized squares. Melt butter, then coat bread pieces in butter, and sprinkle the bread on top of the noodle mixture. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 5-10 minutes longer, until bread pieces are lightly browned. Enjoy!

OK--BooMama got me to re-enter the blog world! Yay! She is having a DipTacular party today. Definitely the best blog party I've ever heard of! I am sharing two dip recipes. Both are easy and taste amazing!

Bacon & Tomato Dip--hands down, the easiest dip ever! (Next to Hidden Valley!)

1 cup sour cream
1 cup mayo
1 package real bacon bits (I usually use Hormel.)
3 roma tomatoes, chopped

Mix the sour cream, mayo & bacon bits and chill overnight. About 30 minutes-1 hour before serving, add the chopped tomatoes. To. Die. For.


Cucumber Dill Dip

1 pkg. (8oz.) cream cheese
1 cup mayo
2 medium cucumbers, peeled, seeded & chopped
2 tbsp. chopped green onion (I use my kitchen scissors!)
1 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. snipped fresh or 1/2 tsp. dried dillweed
1/2 tsp. hot pepper sauce

Beat cream cheese until smooth. Stir in remaining ingredients until well blended. Chill for 3 hours. Delectable.



BTW, thanks for all the encouraging comments over my last post. Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't have gotten so upset over the experience, but then I see another new post and the wound is reopened. But I am moving on. I am currently in the process of getting my two little guys back into the swing of things i.e. school! My oldest began Kindergarten last week, and my youngest begins his final year of preschool next week. Once all that settles, I am going to be getting into some fun projects in their bedrooms, and in our kitchen--again! I just may be taking on my first tiling project--wish me luck! Glad to be back!
