Crazy Good Casserole (chicken, bacon, cream of chicken soup, M Jack cheese, spiral pasta, garlic) dinner idea with some changes.

With a family of TEN to feed, I’m often hunting around for new casserole recipes and often I come up with a few of my own. Casserole recipes are fairly simple: grain or pasta + meat + sauce + cheese = delicious dinner. I don’t have a name for this latest creation. Maybe I should just call this “Crazy Good Casserole” – It has chicken, bacon, cheese, creamy saucy goodness… It’s crazy good.
