A delicious cheesy chicken casserole, perfect comfort food for a cool autumn night.
This past week I made a family favorite, one that my oldest son ask for every time he is home visiting and my youngest son request weekly. My oldest sister used to make it and passed the recipe along to my mom, who in return passed it along to me.
I cook this casserole for potluck dinners at work, for get togethers with the girls …always a good choice as everyone likes it. I hope the crowd over at Angie’s, The Novice Gardener, will like it too! 🙂
There is not much you can say about this recipe in being really healthy. It is just good ole’ southern comfort food and that is all it is meant to be and sometimes …every now and again, that is just what we need! 🙂
Happy Fiesta Friday everyone!
Thanks for visiting!
