About
Whenever we went over to Auntie's house, she would make us something truly special, something homespun, tasty, and filling. We know it as Auntie's Famous Chicken Noodle Casserole. It feels like taking a bite out of the world's most comforting soup, with the warm savory chicken, the tender, buttery egg noodles, and the pan-sautéed veggies. Only now it's creamy and just a little tangy. On top is a crunchy cornflake and cheese mixture that brings texture and joy to each spoonful. Auntie's Famous Chicken Noodle Casserole was only famous in our family, but now it can be famous in yours too!
