Vegetarian Chicken Noodle Casserole

Step 1

Heat the oven to 400°F.  Stir everything except the noodles in a 3-quart casserole dish (most commonly a 9x13x2 inch dish).  Then, submerge the noodles in this mixture. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 40 minutes or until the noodles are cooked al dente.

Step 2

When time is almost up, stir the bread crumbs or Ritz and melted vegan butter in a small bowl. Remove the casserole dish from the oven and stir the mixture completely.  Top this with the crumb mixture and bake for 5-10 minutes uncovered until the top is lightly browned.

Step 3

Let the casserole sit uncovered for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 4

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or the freezer for up to 6 weeks. We like to freeze our leftovers in our 1 or 2-cup Souper Cubes for easy portioning!
