"Nacho Mama's Chicken & Rice Casserole"





We've all had traditional chicken and rice casserole...it's yummy, savory, creamy, and just plain comfort food good. Your mom probably made it for church suppers, BUT, this is NOT your mama's recipe. Oh no. This is meatier and even better than that.... it's made in the crock pot ! Now as usual, the original recipe called for some yummy goodness that I had to omit for my family, but feel free to add "de spices" as you would desire. (it actually called for diced red pepper, celery, and onion) And I'm writing about this before we eat, so hopefully we will not have to resort to "stretchy pants" afterwards, however,if my pre-taste testing is correct, we may just have to !


Crock Pot Chicken & Rice

4-6 chicken breast, cooked and diced with 4 cups broth reserved
1/2 lb pork sausage, cooked
1/2 Hillshire Farm smoked sausage, sliced and cooked
1 pkg dry chicken noodle soup packet
1 cup rice

Mix all together in crock pot and cook 2-4 hours until all liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
