1 teaspoon dried mustard
1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)

EASIEST CHICKEN MACARONI CASSEROLE



Easiest Chicken Macaroni Casserole image

I found this recipe while browsing through my Betty Crocker cookbook and thought it sounded tasty. I love that you don't have to pre-cook the pasta. The original recipe called for curry powder but I also like it with chili powder for something totally different (if using chili powder, you will want to double the amount). Also a good use for that leftover holiday turkey!

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken or 1 1/2 cups cooked turkey

1 cup milk (I use skim)

7 ounces elbow macaroni, uncooked
1 (4 ounce) can mushroom pieces, undrained
1 (2 ounce) jar diced pimentos, undrained

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
