Ingredients

  • 1 pound spaghetti noodles
  • 1 rotisserie chicken bones removed, meat shredded
  • 16 ounce package of Velveeta cheese
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 can Rotel tomatoes (10 ounces)
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup (10 ounces)
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup (10 ounces)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • Cook the spaghetti al dente, according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  • Remove the meat from the rotisserie chicken, shred or dice, and set aside.
  • In a large pot, you can use the one you cooked the pasta in, combine the Velveeta, cream cheese, Rotel, and condensed soups.
  • Stir to combine and cook over medium heat, stirring, until the cheese is melted and everything is combined.
  • Add the spices and stir well.
  • Add in the cooked spaghetti noodles and the shredded chicken. Toss to combine.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • Cover with the cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly and the cheese is melted.
  • Remove and serve hot with salad and garlic bread if desired.

Notes

  • For this recipe, try and break up your spaghetti into smaller, bite-sized pieces. This makes it much easier to enjoy. 
  • Cooking your spaghetti until it’s al dente is very important for this recipe, since the pasta gets reheated in the oven and will soak up some of the sauce. I recommend tasting your pasta 2-3 minutes before the package says it should be done, and taking it off the heat 1-2 minutes early.
  • For my gluten-free families, switch this out with any gluten-free pasta of your choice! 
  • Add in some bell peppers to pack in more veggies. This is a great trick for kids who are picky eaters, because the cheese sauce will help make the veggies more appealing. 
  • For the best melted cheese, make sure to grate it yourself straight from the block. This makes for better melting.
