My finicky grandkids loved this.
Made this the first time for my brother and my "I don't like that" grandchildren# They loved it just as it was#
Today I made it for my adult friends with just a few adjustments to please a more expanded pallet#
Increased noodles to 5 cups, used one can of Campbell's "Cream of Chicken" and one can of Campbell's "Cream of mushroom" soups, and increased the milk to 1 1/2 cups to make it more creamy# I added 1 cup of fresh sliced mushrooms# Left the peas to the original amount and added 2 large pre cooked chicken breasts =1 large breast split, cut to nice size pieces. Baked at 350 for 45 minutes, stirred the casserole, than topped with 2 cups of finely crumbled baked/sea salted potato chips. Baked 15 minutes more until nice and bubbling, took it out and served. The 4 quart casserole was finished off - silly me, I thought I made enough for left overs. Thank you Campbell's for this great recipe.

Chicken Noodle Casserole
Have made this for years. It's one of my go to recipes.
Made just as written
Made just as written and I enjoyed it a lot, it was even better the next day for lunch... Only thing I might would change next time is use more bread crumbs.... For some different flavoring you could always changed the veggies to whatever you might light... But this was quick and easy.
