Molly: One of my favorite comfort foods is “Mom’s Chicken Noodle Casserole”. It’s a meal in itself with or with out a salad and biscuits or rolls.

Assembly Directions:
Cook noodles according to package directions. Mix soup, broth, veggies (optional) and chicken in large bowl. Gently tossed in cooked noodles. If cooking right away, place in casserole dish and top with grated cheddar. Bake at 325 degrees about 45 minutes or until bubbly.
Freezing and Cooking Directions:
To freeze, mix as directed above. If using Ziploc bags, leave the cheddar out. You could freeze it in a smaller ziploc and attach it to the big Ziploc containing the chicken mixture. If using foil pans, sprinkle with cheddar, cover with waxed paper and wrap with foil.
To serve: Thaw completely. Remove foil and waxed paper or dump from Ziploc into casserole dish and top with cheddar. Bake at 325 degrees for about 45 minutes or until bubbly.
