mix all together and place in casserole dish

top with cheese and bake until cheese is melted

Answer 2

I have 2 that kids love ( I cook in a school,and used to cook for a daycare center) The first is Pizza Casserole, you boil one box of any type of pasta(most.,elbows,egg noodles,not stringy pasta though) and you fry up 1 lb. of sausage (Ital. or reg.) drain the sausage and the pasta,mix this together,along with sliced pepperoni (as much as you like) add 2-3 lg. jars of pizza sauce ( I also use spaghetti sauce sometimes instead) mix all of this together in a lg.casserole dish and cover with mozzerella cheese and bake at 350 degrees until heated through and cheese starts to brown.You can also add some spices when you are mixing it,it depends what your kids like,I usually just put a little salt and pepper and a little garlic powder,onion powder,and Italian Seasoning.

The second is Cheeseburger Casserole This one is very easy:

Brown ground beef,drain.Add Cr. of Mushroom Soup (I use 1 can per 1 lb. of ground beef)and a little bit of milk(to make a creamy consistancy) put this in the bottom of a casserole dish,then prepare 1-2 boxes of mac-n-cheese as per package directions.You then spread this over the top of the hamburger/soup mixture.Then sprinkle the top with shredded cheddar cheese or shredded Velveeta and place in 350 degree oven until heated thoroughly and cheese starts to brown.I also add garlic and onion to the ground beef when I fry it, but again it's according to your own families tastes.

  Sorry if these recipes seem kind of hard to understand,I just do them by memory,so I don't have actual measurements.But I hope this helps and like I said these are foods that kids love (Pizza and Cheeseburgers!!)

Answer 3

Brown 1 lb. hamburger & drain.  Cook however many flat noodles you think you need to feed your family.  Add 1 sm. container sour cream, 1/2 pkg. onion soup mix, 1 can cream of (your fav. soup), 1/2 c. milk, and 1 can. mixed vegetables.  Stir well and bake @ 350 degrees for 45 min.  You can top with cheese if you like.

Answer 7

My son loves baked spaghetti - just make spaghetti as you normally would, then mix in your sauce (stir it all together), place in a casserole dish & top with mozzerella cheese and sprinkle oregeno on top of that, then bake it in the oven until the cheese has melted.  Serve with garlic bread & a salad.  OK, now I'm hungry.

Answer 9

I make this Mexican chicken manicotti for my family and even the pickiest eater gobbles it up.  To save time I buy a rotisserie chicken and cut it up instead of cooking my own chicken.

Ingredients:

1 package (8 ounces) manicotti shells

2 cups cubed cooked chicken

2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided

1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream

1 small onion, diced, divided

1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies, divided

1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted

1 cup salsa

2/3 cup milk

Directions:

Cook manicotti according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the chicken, 1-1/2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese, sour cream, half of the onion and 6 tablespoons chilies.

    In another bowl, combine the soup, salsa, milk and remaining onion and chilies. Spread 1/2 cup in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish.

    Drain manicotti and rinse in cold water; stuff each with about 1/4 cupful chicken mixture. Arrange over sauce in baking dish. Pour remaining sauce over shells.

    Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with remaining Monterey Jack cheese. Bake 10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Yield: 7 servings.
