This was very nice. I used 5 oz pasta (uncooked weight) and reduced fat soup with a little extra chicken and sharp cheddar cheese. Went together very quickly with leftover shredded chicken. I have a similar casserole recipe that uses uncooked pasta (it cooks in the oven) and I debated about doing this the same way but it wouldn't have been as creamy so I'm glad I made as directed. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Loved it! Creamy and a little spicy and oh so good. Made just as posted. This will go in my favorites. Thanks!

My husband loves this casserole. Instead of green chili's (which I didn't have on hand) I used some minced garlic. Wonderful taste. Next time I did use the chili's and it was equally as wonderful. Thanks for posting.

Great recipe. I made some changes with what I had on hand but it was still yummy. I used leftover spaghetti noodles instead of the macaroni and I didn't have the green chilies so I mixed some pepper jack cheese with the cheddar. Definitely a recipe I'll use again.

i noticed in my previous review the amount of onion that i used was the same as in the recipe,sorry for any confusion. i used about 1/3 of a cup. review reposted on March 29th. this was really very good, i cut way back on the onions to about a half a cup,and i used cream of chicken soup since i don't care for mushroom other than that i didn't stray from the recipe.it was a very nice change from your "typical chicken and pasta casserole". i will make this again.thank you for posting. — Mar 28, 2006
