Cashew Chicken Casserole

This post contains affiliate links.
I enjoy casseroles, I admit it. I enjoy the fact that all of the ingredients can be put together and enjoyed as one. I enjoy that there is relatively little work, I enjoy the fact that they can be made in one or multiple servings and frozen for later. I just like the ease. I also like the taste, particularly in this case. I found this recipe on the Instagram feed of Patti of the Pandora’s Box blog. I altered it slightly to suit my tastes, and was very pleased with the outcome. It isn’t fancy, but it is good. The next time I make it I plan on adding a small can of sliced water chestnuts. If you like the crunch of water chestnuts, you may want to do the same.

  3. We love those Chinese noodles! Mom used to make a ground beef/mushroom soup concoction and serve over those noodles. My cousin called it"Chinese Goodles". Chicken and cashews sound really good, and yes on the water chestnuts.

  4. I used to make something like this with tuna - Hubby asked me to lose the recipe. So...I think using chicken may meet with his approval and I may give it another go!
