I love this turkey, chicken, cheesy Alfredo casserole. it’s easy to make and my husband and kids are mega fans of it. 10 points for team mom!
Check out what my friends over at Noshing With The Nolands have to say about this recipe:
Baked up in a 9×13″ pan and filling it to the brim with goodness. The recipe makes a big family meal with nothing fancy but good old comforting pasta!! It is a hearty meal that any man would love and yet still light with the chicken and veggies. With the wind starting to have a chill and the leaves cracking under feet, it is therefore a wonderful feeling coming inside to a lovely heart-warming meal like this one.
Doesn’t that description just sound amazing?
