I don’t have the usual pictures to accompany the recipe, as my camera’s battery charger is currently being held hostage in Aggieland. We are still waiting for the ransom demands.

Chicken Spaghetti

1 (4 oz) can of mushrooms, drained
3 – 5 garlic cloves, chopped (depends on size and how much garlic you like)
3 celery stalks, chopped
2 Tbsp Worcestershire
3 – 7 dashes Tabasco (again, your taste)
2 whole chickens, I use the HEB ones.. about $4.24 each. Previously cooked and shredded.*
Salt and Pepper to Taste**
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of celery soup
1 Large onion, chopped (or 2 small)
1 (4 oz) jar of pimientos
1 lg green, bell pepper, chopped***
1 C chicken broth
12 – 14 oz box of Spaghetti, I use whole wheat
Dash of Paprika
Block of Velveeta
1 – 2 C shredded Cheddar

Saute: Onions, Celery, Garlic and Bell Pepper together in 1/2 stick of butter until tender.

Cook and drain the spaghetti. Return to it’s pot. Add in soups, Broth, Worcestershire, Tabasco, pimientos, vegetables, chicken and seasonings to taste. Heat to bubbling; stirring occasionally.

Put half of the spaghetti mixture into a 9X13 baking dish and top with thinly sliced Velveeta, I don’t cover it completely because I don’t like it too cheesy.
Put the rest of the spaghetti mixture on top of this and place some more thin slices of Velveeta on top, then cover this with shredded cheddar and a few dashes of Paprika for color.
Bake in 350 oven for roughly 30 minutes or until bubbling and the cheese has melted and turned a delicious golden brown.

*I usually cook my chickens earlier in the day and then put them in a strainer to cool. I cook them with about 2 Tbsp of Garlic Salt and Pepper in the pot.
** I keep a large spice container filled with equal parts: Salt, Pepper and Garlic Salt. I use it for everything from burgers and chicken to veggies and fries.
*** For an extra burst of color you can use 1 small green bell pepper, 1 small red bell pepper and a small yellow bell pepper.
