Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Drain the canned chicken and mushrooms, reserving the juices if desired for extra moisture, though typically they are drained for a thicker sauce.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained chicken, mushrooms, evaporated milk, cream of chicken soup, and cream of celery soup.
  4. Stir in the chow mein noodles until they are evenly coated and distributed throughout the mixture.
  5. Season the mixture with a dash of garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to taste.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  7. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
  8. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are golden brown.
  9. Let the casserole rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set slightly.
