I have a slight obsession with all the chicken spaghetti recipes on Pinterest well I have slight obsession's with lots of things really Pinterest, the better homes and garden recipe books you see at the checkout counters etc... So, here is another chicken spaghetti recipe from www.gonnawantseconds.com .

                                           My Grandma's Chicken and Noodle Casserole

8 oz. dried spaghetti
2 Tbls. butter
1 1/2 c. fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/2 c. yellow onion, finely chopped
2 (10.75oz) cans condensed chicken soup
1 c. sour cream
1 c. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 rotisserie chicken, shredded

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cook pasta according to package directions until just al dente.  Drain and set aside.
In a saucepan, melt butter then saute mushrooms and onion until both or nice and soft.
In a large bowl mix soup and sour cream until blended.  Add cooked mushrooms, onion, chicken and spaghetti and fold until everything is evenly coated with sauce.
Pour spaghetti into a 9x13 dish top with cheese.  Bake in oven for about 30 minutes or until casserole is heated through.

My note:  I used some of the chicken I had done in an earlier post truly does come in handy when you have shredded chicken in the freezer.  I also used canned mushrooms cause, that's what I had still sauteed them with the onion in the butter. 

I can truly see why the original pinner called this pure comfort food cause that's what it is.  The leftovers heat up nicely for lunch will be keeping this one in my recipe book. I know it has the cream of soup but, sometimes it's what makes the casserole.   Enjoy!!!!
