    Ultimate Baked Chicken Spaghetti Casserole is easy, cheesy and packed full of comfort. It's tender chicken combined with pasta and a cheese sauce baked until bubbling hot and delicious.

    I am not really sure where this recipe first originated, but I remember having a version of this that was made by a local catering company at an event at a friends house a hundred years ago. I knew it would be a hit with my family so I asked what was in it from one of the staff.

    They said Rotel and Velveeta. Duh - thus why it was a hit! The ingredients are the startings of our favorite queso and add in chicken and spaghetti and BOOM = yumminess. I knew there must be a few add ins. So home I went to figure out the rest.

    I tested the chicken spaghetti casserole recipe out on the family and they loved it. It now finds its way into our meal rotation on a normal basis along with my Ultimate Baked Spaghetti and Taco Spaghetti Bake. Y'all give those a try I think you will love them too!

        Yes, you can prepare ahead of time. The cook time will likely be closer to 40 or 45 minutes though.
