5 Can Casserole

I adopted this recipe from the Recipezaar account in February 2005. The next time I try it, I am going to try a smaller can of milk and try adding a 10 ounce package of frozen mixed vegetable. If I like it that way, they will become an optional ingredient. I have added can sizes, since the original recipe did not specify sizes. The casserole was soupy, which was not bad, but I want to see how it is with the smaller amount of milk.

SERVES 6 -8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 (3 ounce) can chow mein noodles

  • 1 (9 3/4 ounce) can chicken breasts

  • 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk

  • 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup

  • 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can chicken and rice soup
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (optional)

Directions

  1. 1
    Drain canned chicken, then place in 1 1/2 quart casserole dish and break apart with a fork.
  2. 2
    Add the rest of the ingredients and mix together well.
  3. 3
    Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes or so until lightly browned

    Tasty and easy!! I use a 5 oz can of milk and I let it stand overnight or at least 4 hours before baking 325 for 1 hour. I also add buttered bread crumbs or crushed potato chips on top.

    Glad I found this one! I needed to use up a can of chow mein noodles and did a search for recipes. When I saw this one, I just happened to have the other ingredients on hand so it was a no-brainer...I had to try it. I listened to the other reviewers and added a can of mushrooms (stems & pieces), diced green chiles, and I also threw in a can of diced POTATOES. <--that was GENIUS! LOL I changed another thing, too. I only used 1/2 can of the milk as was suggested by OP-it came out 'thick' like a casserole and not soupy like one of the pictures. I also substituted a "soup at hand" container of CHICKEN & Mini Noodles instead of chicken & rice soup because I was being BRAVE. Oh, and added 12 minutes to the cook time. This tasted SO yummy! Will make again for sure! Thank you!
