My little brother & his best friend used to BEG my mom to make this Chicken Casserole when we were kids, but honestly? I don’t recall it one way or another. For me, the biggest appeal in making this casserole now that I am a momma, is that I was able to make it the night before, for an easy no-prep supper the next night. By letting it sit overnight, you eliminate the need to cook your macaroni noodles! Cool, right?!
Overnight Chicken Supreme Casserole
(click title for easy printable)
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked, Seasoned Chicken, Cut In Small Cubes
- 2 cups Raw Macaroni (do Not Cook!)
- 2 cans (14 Oz Each) Cream Of Mushroom Soup
- 2 cups Whole Milk
- 1 whole Onion, Chopped Finely
- ½ teaspoons Celery Salt
- 3 Tablespoons Butter, Cut Into Small Pieces
- 1 cup Shredded Cheese
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
Combine all above ingredients, except cheese in a large bowl with lid. Refrigerate overnight. When you are ready, scrape macaroni mixture into a sprayed 9×13 casserole dish and bake for almost an hour at 350*. The last 5 minutes, add shredded cheese to the top and return to the oven until melted.
We served ours with Creamed Peas, which we all ADORE! {Cooked peas ususally make me gag, not these!}
Simple and delicious! My kids said “Mmmm” with every bite!
