Chicken-Macaroni Casserole


Chicken-Macaroni Casserole


If you need a quick and easy recipe, then look no further. This is a Pinterest inspired meal. I was in a pinch and needed something fast to make for dinner and this did the trick. 

If I had to pick a few words to describe this dish I would say, delicious tasty, cheesy, and yummy. 

I didn't have two cans of cream of chicken soup so I used one can of cream of chicken soup and one can of cream of celery. I couldn't tell a difference.

I would say that the Ritz crackers really made it. It added that little zip to the dish.

I will definitely be making this again.
