Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Spaghetti
- 4 cups Cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 2 cans Cream of chicken soup
- 1 can Cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 3 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Diced green bell pepper
- 1 cup Diced onion
- 1 can Diced canned tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel), drained
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If you are freezing the meal for later, skip preheating.
Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the diced green bell pepper and onion, sautéing until softened, about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, sautéed vegetables, drained diced tomatoes with green chilies, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the mixture and stir well to combine, ensuring the sauce coats all the ingredients evenly.
If baking immediately, transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish. If freezing, divide the mixture into freezer-safe containers suitable for your serving needs.
For immediate use, sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
If freezing, omit the cheese topping, cover containers tightly with freezer-safe lids, and label them. When ready to bake, thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then follow the baking instructions above (adding the cheese topping before baking).
Serve warm and enjoy this comforting, cheesy chicken spaghetti!
