    If you are like me then every now and then you want to toss all the fancy schmancy dinner recipes out the window and just enjoy a good, old-fashioned creamy casserole.

    This chicken noodle casserole is a snap to assemble and only bakes for 25 minutes, so it's easily a good weeknight meal.

    If you have kids that won't eat a vegetable, a casserole is a great way to sneak them in.

    The veggies swim in so much creamy goodness the kids won't even care about the vegetables.

    Other delicious entree casseroles to try are my Leftovers Casserole and this Cheddar Bay Biscuit Chicken Casserole.

    Ingredient alternatives and substitutes

    I always use egg noodles for this casserole but if you'd like to use another short pasta feel free. It is just my personal preference to use egg noodles.

    Penne, elbows or bowties would work well.

    Cream of mushroom soup can be used in place of cream of chicken soup.

    Change up the vegetables to carrots, green beans or even mixed vegetables.
