Chicken (or Turkey) Tetrazzinni

If you can believe this, my daughter who has to be very nearly force fed everything ate her whole bowl of this and then asked for seconds. My entire family LOVED it. That never happens to me. (Somebody always tells me dinner is gross) So this recipe is now going to be a frequently made one.


12 ounces homemade style egg noodles ( the kind like Grandma DaBell uses for chicken noodle soup. You can find them dried or frozen)
2 Tablespoons butter
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 tsp. celery salt
3 cups shredded cheese (divided)
4 cups cooked and cubed chicken
1 1/2 c. frozen or fresh peas
optional : carrotts, celery, green peppers......
Directions
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2.Cook noodles according to package directions, only do it a few minutes less so the noodles are not quite tender. 3.In large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. Add soup, broth, seasoned salt and 1 1/2 cups of the cheese. Cook and stir until cheese melts and mixture is smooth. Add noodles and chicken or turkey and any desired vegetables. Cover with remaining cheese. Transfer to 2-quart baking dish.
4.Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
