Comfort food made even better!! This beloved childhood classic Chicken Noodle Casserole gets an update! No more canned soup for a fresh take on a family favorite!

My recipe for Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle Casserole is comfort food at its finest… and simplest! Just a few ingredients that you throw together in the morning and it’s ready by dinnertime.

A twist on tuna casserole, this family-friendly casserole is quick, simple, and healthier than traditional casseroles. This recipe has been updated from my original with more seasoning and onion so that it has added flavor. (A change I made by listening to my reader’s feedback.)

Many Chicken Noodle Casseroles and Tuna Noodle Casseroles call for cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup. However, in this recipe, I left out the canned soup and made a simple (yet absolutely delicious!) sour cream sauce.

Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle Casserole is versatile! You can change things up by using a variety of different chip flavors! Besides regular potato chips, give barbecue or sour cream and onion a try.

Want to make some more delicious Comfort Food recipes? How about giving  Slow Cooker Tater Tot Casserole, Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie, or Slow Cooker Easy Breakfast Casserole a try?

    I think this a great and easy recipe for all to use. I used garlic powder, cracked black pepper, and a little seasoning salt for added flavor. I also threw some chopped up carrots in about an hour after I started cooking the chicken. The chicken fell apart beautifully! This recipe is great because you can easily make it your own.

    Could I use regular egg noodles in place of the spaghetti noodles or would it be too doughy

      I think it would be too doughy in this specific recipe.

    I followed the recipe to the tee and it ended up very bland. I’ll be looking elsewhere for a new casserole recipe.

    I think I will try the wish spiraled zucchini in place of the spaghetti.

    I made this today and was disappointed as it was a little dry and tasted bland. Will not make again

      I’m sorry to hear it didn’t meet your expectations. Would you prefer a spicer version?

        I used your base recipe and added minced garlic and chopped onions for a little more flavor, and used angel hair pasta instead of spaghetti so it would cook a little faster. My kitchen smelled good all afternoon and the finished casserole was a hit

    How much is considered a serving, or how many servings per recipe? Either would be helpful.
    Thanks.
