We all have them... successes and failures... Somehow, someway we always learn from them. God sees fit to teach us in all things. So, what is my lesson from failed hot dog buns? I'm not sure yet, other than a visit from my old friend Percy (Perseverance- a constant childhood companion of mine...). "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." Ok, someday I will try my hand at gluten free hot dog buns again... Yes, they were a failure... ok, so not a TOTAL failure. They tasted GREAT!! But, OMG, were they DRY!!! But, enough about my failure of last night... lets move on tp tonight's (hopeful) success! (I will comment once we've eaten my "creation" and let you know how it actually was!!)
So, I'm back to cooking from my cupboard.... Once again, we have too much month at the end of our money... Luckily, Aaron (my DH) found spaghetti noodles on sale for $0.80 a box. And I still have a couple chickens that he butchered last fall in the freezer. So, what do you make with chicken and spaghetti noodles? Chicken Spaghetti Casserole, of course!! Here's the "recipe" (about the only thing I measured was the cream of chicken soup!).
Chicken Spaghetti Casserole
1/2 box of spaghetti noodles, cooked to al dente
1 whole chicken, cooked and diced (you can also use 3-4 chicken breasts if you have them)
1 box (12 oz) Cream of Chicken Soup (I used Pacific Natural's Organic soup, but you could use whatever Cream of chicken soup you desire or have on hand)
Minced Onion, Minced Garlic, Salt, Pepper, Worcestershire Sauce- to taste
Plain Yogurt (I used goat's milk yogurt)
Chicken Broth
Frozen veggies (whatever kind you like!)
Cracker or Bread Crumbs (I used CLUB crackers 'cause I had them in the cupboard)
Cheddar cheese, grated (optional- I can't eat cheese so I did not add)
Mis together soup, spices, and enough yogurt and broth to make a sauce. Place noodles in bottom of 9x9 pan. Top with chicken and frozen veggies. Pour sauce over top. Sprinkle with bread crumbs. Top with grated cheese. Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes or till bubbly. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes then serve.
Enjoy! :)
