Chicken Noodle Casserole
As you well know, my mom is pretty awesome. She takes care of us all and is it pretty much the binding that keeps the family together. She’s there to give you a hug, lend a shoulder to cry on, cheer you on, but also there to call you out on your shenanigans. She’s a good reality check for all of us when we need it. Trust me. It just happened.
I may have been upset with my little brother and made a huge stink over it. Imagine that. She looked at me and asked if it was really that big of a deal? Would it matter in a month? Nope, it wouldn’t, but I’m a bit bull-headed to say the least and I was going on the fact that I was right, he was wrong and it was the principle of the matter.
Luckily for me, it took me giving him some puppy dog eyes, going in for a hug and simply saying, “I’m sorry” and all was forgiven. He admitted he was probably in the wrong, I admitted I was probably overreacting and we hugged it out. Ahhhh, cue the tears!
Chicken and Noodle Casserole
Another thing my Mom is amazing at is cooking. It’s kind of her love language for us kids. She’s always making my oldest brother his favorite cake for his birthday, or spoiling the grandchildren with their favorites treats. My husband’s eyes light up when he knows that she’s baking chocolate chip cookies because he knows that she will deliver a plate of them to him! Sometimes I think she loves him more than me!
On the other hand, my eyes light up when I hear she’s making a big batch of Chicken Noodle Soup! I know I’m sure to get some and I don’t have to make dinner one night that week. SCORE. Plus, what is more comforting that Chicken Noodle Soup, Sloppy Joe Casserole or Cheesy Chicken and Rice Casserole on a cold winter night? Nothing. It brings back all my favorite memories of being at home. Gathering with my brothers and parents around the table, throwing insults and love back and forth, discussing our days, and just being with each other.
You see, dinner time was always at 6:30 pm growing up and it was pretty much a “You be there or else” type of situation. Mom always prepared a homemade meal and we always ate together. That’s just the way it was. As I grew up and heard of families not eating together it always made me scratch my head in wonder why on earth you wouldn’t eat together!
Now as I raise my own children I make sure that we eat together as much as possible and dinner is a time where it’s family time. I hope they remember this as they grow older and raise their own families.
As much as I love making dinner time a family tradition, I like it to be easy too! That’s why I love this hearty Cheesy Chicken and Noodle Casserole. I took my mom’s Chicken Noodle Soup and turned it into a casserole that I knew my girls would love!

As I was taking photos and making the video these two cuties decided they were going to “assist” me and ended up begging for a bite! One on each side of my table as a shot the photos. I had a hard time keeping their little fingers out of the photographs and as soon as the photos were done we all sat down and dug into this delicious casserole.

Hello, looks delish, i’m going to fix this for my wife and me. If after all the ingredients are put into the baking dish, could it be refrigerated to cook a day or two later?
Julie says
The noodles might get very soggy after sitting that long. I wouldn’t recommend making ahead for this recipe.
Betty Jefferson says
Forgot to tell you the cookie recipes are wonderful and easy

Jane Redmond says
My family LOVES when we have this for supper! Especially since it is getting cold down here in the Florida panhandle. A great comfort food, for sure, and now a staple in my home.
I use the left over broth from the baked chicken to cook the Reames noodles in to add the extra dimension of flavor and it makes it extra yummy!
Thank you for your recipe Julie!
Julie says
You’re welcome! I’m glad everyone loves it!
Nicki Bauer says
I love Reames noodles, wish we could get them in the south.
Julie Evink says
What a bummer!
Jane Redmond says
You can get them at any Publix here in the South
Lori says
Do you mean a 12 oz bag of noodles? The recipe says 24 oz., which seems like way too much. The picture is of a 12 oz bag.
Julie Evink says
Andddddd you are correct! Good eyes!
Julie B says
This was good. It is also very versatile. Half way through making it I discovered I did not have cream of chicken, but I did have one cream of mushroom and one cream of broccoli! Not wanting to go to the store I decided they would have to work. Anyway, it came out yummy, even the kid that doesn’t eat broccoli ate it, it was not visible! Added garlic and onion powder and alittle cayenne. Thanks for the inspiration.
Julie Evink says
So glad you were able to make it work and everyone enjoyed it!
Lisa says
