With a family of TEN to feed, I’m often hunting around for new casserole recipes and often I come up with a few of my own. Casserole recipes are fairly simple: grain or pasta + meat + sauce + cheese = delicious dinner. I don’t have a name for this latest creation. Maybe I should just call this “Crazy Good Casserole” – It has chicken, bacon, cheese, creamy saucy goodness… It’s crazy good.
Crazy Good Casserole
Ingredients:
4-5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
6 strips quality bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 cans cream of chicken soup
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 box (16 ounces) dried spiral pasta
1 tablespoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Preparation:
Cook the Bacon:
Cook the bacon until crispy. Crumble and set aside.
Prepare the Chicken:
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks. Cook the chicken in the bacon drippings over medium heat, seasoning with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
Cook the Pasta:
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and return to the pot.
Combine Ingredients:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In the pot with the pasta, add the cooked chicken, both cans of cream of chicken soup, and 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Stir until well mixed.
Assemble the Casserole:
Pour the pasta mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the top.
Top with the remaining cup of Monterey Jack cheese.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and starting to brown on top.
Enjoy this hearty and flavorful Crazy Good Casserole, perfect for family dinners and potlucks!
