Company Chicken Casserole

Submitted by keen5

"I made this recipe last week-end to take over to my mothers. She had about 5 people there helping her to pack for her moving day. They all loved this recipe and most had 2nds. I got this recipe from J&S Oldtime Recipe site. Prep time is approximate, because I was doing other things in between the chopping and mixing."

1. Cook noodles according to pkg. until barely tender.
2. In a very large bowl, combine the remainding ingredients with the noodles, making sure the noodles are separated and coated with liquid.
3. Pour into a greased crockpot.

This little casserole is deceptively rich with the different cheeses in it! I followed directions exactly except I was out of green pepper so I subbed a red pepper. DH told me to give this the most amount of stars as he though it was fantastic! It was a WONDERFUL suprise as I have never tried a casserole in the crockpot and I am a crockpot user big time! Thanks keen5 for a recipe that's a keeper for sure!

Wow! I made this today and it turned out great! I love to cook in the Crockpot on the weekends and this was fantastic! DH loves chicken and he said this was 5 stars! Like the other reviewer I left out the green pepper (only because we don't like) and subbed red pepper. I used all white meat chicken breasts cooked and cubed. It was creamy and cheesy and satisfying! Thanks for sharing! :)

I love this recipe but have made some changes to it for my family.

I gave this 3 stars. My niece, newphew and I liked this but wasn't nuts over it. It was good but needs a bit more flavor. I followed the directions as directed except I only cooked this for 3 hours as another reviewer sais. Mine was very soupy maybe it needed longer cook time. I will make this again and saute the vegetables as another reviewer said to as mine were not done. I will also fry some bacon and chop it and add it to the casserole. I think I will also add some breadcrumbs mix in to thicken it and give it some crunch. Thanks for posting a good recipe! Christine (internetnut)

I followed the recipe exactly and cooked it on low for 8 hours. I felt it had no flavor at all. I might try it again and cook it for a much shorter time....
