Cajun Chicken Casserole
Happy Friday Everyone! Do you have any special plans for the weekend? Since there is more crazy weather ahead I plan to stay inside. I will be busy in the kitchen mixing up some tasty recipes. On the menu is a Chorizo & Cheese Dip, something with beef tips, and a strawberry salad for sure and I might take a stab at some made from scratch rolls. Wish me luck!
From what I can tell anything with pasta and any type of dessert gets really high views on my Facebook page. Go figure, my two favorite meals seems to be everyone else’s favorites as well. I will try and share more recipes under these categories but I may need to find people willing to help me eat the food so I don’t gain too much weight!
Cajun Chicken Casserole
I used Farfalle pasta in this dish but feel free to use any small shaped pasta. For this recipe you saute the chicken and vegetables, then add in 2 different kinds of soup along with some milk to make up the sauce. Add in the spices, stir in the cheese and the casserole is ready to bake and enjoy!
