Works for Me: Chicken Soup Casserole

Okay, so the setup for this week’s Works-for-Me Wednesday doesn’t fit me at all. I’m never home at 5:15, and imaginary children are easy to handle. The imaginary husband is also equally easy to please.
Regardless, dinner can be a difficult time around our apartment. My roommates and I take turns cooking for each other but not on any type of schedule. We’ve all played the, “Hi honey, I’m home; what’s for dinner?” bit, and sometimes its me who gets the pleasure of feeding the household.
This is the recipe that I choose if I don’t have any energy but need to cook. It’s easy, but the best part is that my roommates and I all crave it!
Chicken Soup Casserole
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of celery soup
1 can chicken and rice soup
1 cup mayo (I rarely put this much in, but I ballpark it)
1 T chopped onion (dried is best and easiest)
1 can chicken (or fresh, if you have leftover)
1 cup instant rice
4 oz crackers (Ritz or Town House)
Preheat oven to 300 degrees and combine all but the crackers in a casserole dish. Crush the crackers (I do it straight in the package since you need exactly 1 sleeve of crackers) and use the broken cracker bits to top the casserole. Bake 30-35 minutes or in the microwave for 20 minutes.
Great with green beans and biscuits, and I’m done! It’s easy to substitute any of the soups for another, or a cream of mushroom.

  1. I came over from BooMama’s to tell you that , I totally consider chili a soup and I will be waiting on pins and needles to read your recipe because I need a good chili recipe. I can’t believe I call myself a Texan and don’t know how to make chili!

  2. That sounds so good! I’m not a good cook at all, but I think that I might be able to handle this one :).
