CHICKEN SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE

CHICKEN SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE: THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST DISH TO MAKE FOR THE MEN IN YOUR FAMILY: TRUST ME! MY HUSBAND AND BROTHER LOVED IT!

We loved this so much. I made it with 1 pound of spaghetti and increased the soup to two cans, instead of the recommended amount. I deboned the rotisserie chicken for approximately four cups and doubled the veggies. I doubled the cheese by 1/2 cup, and it was VERY good and creamy!

This is a great recipe. I used canned chicken. But, I didn’t have cheddar cheese in the house, I just used a pizza blend shredded cheese. We loved this so much and a great recipe if you have left-over chicken (also, instead of your typical pimentos, I instead used sliced green olives with pimentos).
