The Easiest Casserole Ever

Source: modified from a Kraft recipe due to forgetfulness and missing ingredients.

As I was driving home from work, I realized I needed some food. I also remembered I had some chicken in my freezer. I had a vague memory of some sort of chicken-broccoli bake that I'd made ages ago, and so made a detour to the grocery store.

Turns out I remembered the stuffing and the correct "Cream of" soup... but I totally forgot the damn broccoli. The recipe also called for some Velveeta.

And I was too lazy to go back to the store.

So I improvised with what I already had, and it turned out decently okay.

EASY CHICKEN-STUFFING BAKE, BROCCOLI OPTIONAL, APPARENTLY

2 boneless/skinless chicken breasts

1 box of stuffing for chicken

1 can of cream of chicken soup

1 bag of frozen broccoli (unless you don't have any or forget. Then you can use a bag of frozen mixed veggies that you totally happened to have on hand!)

cheese - either a block of Velveeta or a bag of cheddary stuff

Preheat oven to 400ºF.

Cut chicken into approximately 1" pieces. Mix the chicken, frozen veggies, and soup together and pour into a 9 x 13 pan. Mine looked really thin and I was skeptical that it was enough coverage to not burn to a crisp, but it totally worked, so trust me on this.

If you forget cheese, just sprinkle a crap-ton of the shredded cheddar cheese that you already have in your fridge. Trust me, it's there. Because everyone always has half of a bag of shredded cheese in their fridge. Don't ask me why.

If you get Velveeta "cheese product", you're supposed to cut 1" cubes and I think it was supposed to be mixed in with the original mixture.

Make the stuffing according to the directions on the box.

Put the stuffing on top of the chicken mix.

Bake for 30 minutes, or thereabouts until the chicken is completely cooked.

Bam. DONE.



Leftover quality: better be good, 'cause I've got a ton of it. ;)

Spaghetti-o Casserole

Source: I honestly have no idea. I think my mother found it somewhere, way back in the day.

Notes: This is stupidly easy.

SPAGHETTI-O CASSEROLE

1# hamburger
1/2 onion, chopped
1 can Spaghetti-o's
2 cans Vegetarian Vegetable soup (does that sound redundant to anyone else? Ha)

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Brown hamburger & onion.

Mix well with cans of soup & Spaghetti-o's.



Pour into greased 8x10 pan.

Bake at 350ºF for 45-50 minutes, or until heated through.

Seriously. That's it.


Leftover quality: Very good, reheats well. It's easy to eat a lot of, though, so you might not have any leftovers, haha. We rarely did. ;)
