Country Casserole

This had been on my list to make for a few years now and the cooler weather we've finally been having made it a good time to give it a try.  It's fairly quick and easy to throw together.  And it definitely makes a good amount.  If I start running into occasions that I need to bring food to somebody, this would definitely be a good place to start (I mention this because if you read Christie's blog, she specifically states that).


Ingredients
  • 2 cups small shell pasta, cooked and drained
  • 3 cups frozen mixed vegetables, cooked and drained
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar, divided
  • One can French fried onions, divided
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (can use canned chicken or rotisserie )
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine everything in a large bowl, reserving half of the cheese and half of the onions for topping later. Spoon into 9x13 casserole dish. Bake for twenty five minutes. Top with remaining onions and cheese, bake until cheese is melted, about five minutes more.
