Creamy Rotel Chicken Spaghetti Casserole

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream cheese, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  3. Stir in the Rotel tomatoes, cooked chicken, and both cheeses.
  4. Add the cooked spaghetti and gently toss until evenly coated.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, until hot, bubbly, and lightly golden on top.
  7. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish if desired.

Variations

  • Use Hot Rotel for extra heat or mild Rotel for a gentler flavor.
  • Substitute rotisserie chicken for convenience and added flavor.
  • Add sautéed bell peppers or onions for extra texture.
  • Top with crushed buttery crackers or breadcrumbs for a crispy finish.

Tips

  • Soften the cream cheese fully for the smoothest sauce.
  • Slightly undercook the spaghetti so it doesn’t get too soft while baking.
  • Letting the casserole rest helps it set and makes serving easier.
  • This dish reheats well and is just as comforting the next day.
