Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound spaghetti, cooked and drained
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel), undrained
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 (10 ounce) package Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, Rotel (with liquid), milk, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
  3. Add the cubed Velveeta cheese to the soup mixture. Stir constantly until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
  4. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the shredded chicken, cooked spaghetti, and 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden.
  7. Let the cheesy chicken spaghetti casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a Southern chicken spaghetti feel, use cream of celery soup instead of cream of mushroom soup.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, use the hot version of Rotel.
  • You can prepare this entire casserole ahead of time, cover it, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 10 minutes to the bake time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
