This was good. Even after a few changes this was still missing something. I took 3 boneless chicken breast and cubed them. Added them to a frying pan with melted butter and then added salt, pepper, minced garlic and paprika. Also chopped and added the onion. Once cooked I combined all ingredients and added a little more salt and pepper and 1/2 cup sour cream. I cooked at 350 covered with foil for 40 minutes, removed and stirred as others suggested. Noodles were no where near cooked and the soup had thickened so I added a bit more milk. Cooked for another 20 minutes and the noodles were perfect. Added ritz cracker crumbs to top and baked for 10 more minutes to brown. My daughter is eating it so its a keeper.

Excellent casserole. Only changes I made was to add salt, pepper & a little onion powder to mixture in bowl and did not use sliced mushrooms, as I didn't have on hand. Baked casserole at 350' for 45 minutes covered with foil, then removed foil and baked another 15-20 minutes. I did not pre-cook macaroni at all & it came out absolutely perfect. After the first 45 minutes of baking I stirred casserole to mix up macaroni, as to not have any crunchy macaroni on top. This turned out fabulous and my entire family LOVED IT! Thanks for a great recipe.

Delicious, with a few changes. I prepared everything according to the recipe (even the uncooked pasta part) but I changed the baking instructions. Instead of a 13x9 dish and 45 minutes, I baked it in a deep 9x6 glass dish, covered with foil for 80-90 minutes. I then uncovered, sprinkled crushed crackers on top, and baked for an additional 10 minutes. Doing this, the pasta was cooked to perfection and not dried out, like in the 13x9. Hope this helps!

Delicious. We don't eat meat so we substituted a couple of diced up vegetarian "naked cutlets" from Quorn. I added about a 1/2 cup of frozen peas and used cream of mushroom soup. I bumped up the cheese just a bit, and sprinkled an extra layer on top. After baking about 55 minutes I finished it off under the broiler to brown it. The whole family loved it.

My family LOVED this recipe. This is the second time I have made this. I did follow some advice of others when making this. I only had one can of cream of chicken so I used that and one can of cream of mushroom soup. I added about 1/3 cup extra milk, about 1 1/2 cups of frozen mixed veggies, couple dashes of pepper and oregano. I baked at 350 for 40 minutes covered with tinfoil (stirring after 20 minutes) then removed the foil, stirred again, topped with 3/4 c of the cheese and baked again for another 15-20 minutes. It turned out perfectly. The noodles were cooked by doing this without the need to precook them. This is a great basic recipe that you can change to the likings of your family.
