So this is on my way home from Iowa City.
Picture

I see it from Hwy 1 and it just tickles me to no end.

Know what else tickles me?

​

​And I will tell you this comforting
Chicken Noodle Casserole recipe tickles me too, cause it is from scratch and includes no cans of soup!

I did make
one change,

I used potato chips instead of panko for the topping.

Potato chip topping is reminiscent of my childhood.
Plus, mmmmmm,
​potato chips.




Here's the fine fixins for this Chicken Noodle Casserole (From Scratch) recipe.

Chicken Noodle Casserole from scratch
Straight outta www.spendwithpennies.com
INGREDIENTS:

2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion , diced
1 1/2 cups each sliced celery & carrots
6 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon thyme
pepper to taste
3 cups reduced sodium chicken broth (ready to serve)
1 cup milk
4 oz cream cheese (block, not spreadable)
1 cup cheddar cheese
1 package medium egg noodles (15oz)
4 cups cooked chicken
1 1/2 cups frozen peas
1/4 cup finely diced red pepper
TOPPING
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2/3 cup Panko bread crumbs


Quick notes: I subbed edamame for peas cause Tim still needs therapy for being forced to eat peas one time as a kid. (DON'T USE EDAMAME, USE PEAS!!!) Also I try to use Kalona Supernatural (local organic dairy) for the majority of my dairy products.




Okay, so prep all the vegetables and shred the cheese.
​I used both white and yellow cheddar.

Saute away!




Add flour, chicken broth and milk.




Let it bubble, add the cheeses and stir...



​C
ombine all ingredients.


Very Important! The recipe doesn't say but trust me, YOU WILL NEED TO ADD SALT AND PEPPER AT THIS POINT! 




Topping calls for panko, I went with potato chips from my childhood.





Pour into greased dish.
Picture




Spread topping over noodles. I used a full 5 oz. bag.



​
Picture
In oven.

Recipe calls for 30-35 minutes,

​I left mine in around 45 minutes.





DONE and YUM!!
Picture


​This is a nice creamy, tasty
​Chicken Noodle Casserole made from scratch!
Picture



A nostalgic comfort meal.
The flavors really are spot on!
Picture


​Creamy!
Just the right amount!
Picture



Next day the leftovers were even better!

In closing, I'd like to share all the spooktacular decorating in the house.
And by "all the spooktacular decorating", I mean the tiny amount I put in the entry. Don't be scared :)
