Ingredients
-
6 Cups Uncooked Whole Wheat Elbows
1 can condensed Cream of Broccoli Soup, I make with Campbells 98% fat free
1 can condensed Cream of Chicken Soup, I make with reduced sodium
15 chicken nuggets
Directions
Cook macaroni according to package directions,
To save a little baking time, I also cook broccoli on the stovetop, and the chicken nuggets in the microwave as the pasta cooks. I then cut the chicken nuggets in half so they are kid friendly bite sized.
When macaroni is finished, drain well and transfer to a casserole dish.
Mix macaroni with all other ingredients, I find it works best to add both cans of soup and fold the rest of the ingredients in slowly to ensure all are well coated with the creamy mixture. If it is too thick for your liking, a splash of nonfat milk will do the trick (not entered in nutritional information).
Bake in a 350 degree oven for one hour, or until hot and bubbly.
Makes about 8 1 cup servings.
