Chicken Casserole II

Submitted by Charlotte J

"This is a make ahead bake later casserole that I got from the organist at church, thank you Ruth. This needs to be refrigerated for at least 8 hours before you bake it, so the macaroni can absorb the liquid. Talk about good tasting comfort food. YUM! You can use 2 cans of any combination, of the following soups, cr. of mushroom, cr. of potato, cr. of celery, cr. of broccoli or even a can of cheddar soup is what Ruth told me."

This dish is excellent! My husband and son devoured it. Thank you so much for posting. I omitted the pimientos,green pepper and water chestnuts(mostly because I didn't have them on hand.) I used cream of chicken soup and cheddar cheese soup. I also refrigerated the dish overnight and then baked it when I came home from work. I was afraid that the noodles would be mushy HOWEVER, they were perfect. I will be making this dish over and over. It is definately a keeper! Thank you Charlotte!:)
