How To Make cheesy chicken casserole

Step 1

Remove oxygen absorber. Boil 3 1/2 c water. Add macaroni. Simmer, uncovered, for 13 minutes or until water is almost gone.

Step 2

Empty the baggie with the rice into a second pot and add 1 1/2 c water. Cover and simmer on medium heat for 15 minutes. Adjust heat to low for another 15 minutes.
Step 3

Whisk contents of seasoning pint with 3 c water. Simmer a few minutes until thick and powders are cooked, stirring often to assure it does not burn.
Step 4

Mix rice, macaroni, soup mix and chicken. Put in greased 9x13 casserole. Top cheese. Bake at 350F degrees for 25-30 minutes.
Step 5

Hints: In dry jars or mylar bags add an oxygen absorber to keep out moisture during storage for freshness. Lots of information on Mylar Bags on Internet. UTube has lots of great video. **You do not have to process quart jars just seal tightly so air doesn't get in. Make sure they are very clean however.
