Spring in Minnesota is like meal planning for kids, you never know what you’re gonna get. Checking my weather app on my phone is a constant surprise these days. One day we are sitting on the deck watching the kids play in the backyard and the next we are waking up to a snow-covered. Sorta like meal planning for kids, right? You are confident they are going to love something, you grocery shopped, cooked and they poke their fork around the plate and you are lucky if you get a “No thank you.”

Just like the spring weather in Minnesota, my kids reaction to meals is always a surprise. Casseroles can be a bit iffy for kids, there’s usually a green veggie hiding somewhere, it’s all mushed together so their senses are on alert and they are totally suspicious. My kids go bananas for Chicken Tater Tot Casserole so I was pretty confident they would like a Chicken Noodle Casserole but who knows, right? And since we can’t seem to jump into spring, a cozy casserole sounds perfect right now.

I always like to have a hearty Sunday night dinner so I like making this on the weekend and eat the leftovers for lunch or heat up as a fast weeknight dinner.

Tips for Making Chicken Noodle Casserole

  • Boil the noodles when you have time. You can store them with a little olive oil in the refrigerator. Sometimes I boil noodles for a recipe before I go to work to cut the cooking prep time after work.
  • Watch your local grocery stores for Rotisserie chicken sales. Some stores have special days with a discount for purchasing rotisserie chickens and other stores offer discounts for buying cold chickens. Buy the chicken when it’s on sale and pull the chicken and store in your freezer for future use. Want more freezer meal tips and recipes? Check out my book, Freezer Meals for Moms.
