Chicken Noodle Casserole


Recipe FILLS a 9x13 dish, so cut in half if you feed a smaller family.

4 large chicken breasts, boiled to tenderness & shredded
1 small onion, diced and sauteed in butter
6-7 small potatoes, diced (or other vegetable equivalent)
1 23 oz can of cream of chicken soup
8 oz. sour cream
1 1/2 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
6 oz. egg noodles, cooked in stock from chicken; drained
salt and pepper to taste
Ritz crackers, crumbled and sauteed in butter (crackers not pictured here... I went to make my casserole, thinking I had crackers in the pantry...but then low and behold I didn't!!!! ugh!!!...It was still good without them, though.)

*Broccoli or other veggies would be a great thing to add to this! However, I feed picky eaters. Hence, the plainness which you see here. ;) But, this is a great base to add a variety of things to. Be creative!

Mix all ingredients except sauteed crackers, and place in a casserole dish. Top with crackers and Bake at 350 degrees until potatoes are tender--around 1 hour 15 minutes. Use varying times according to the vegetable you put into it, though.
