This is one of those classic recipes that gets passed around because it is so good. There are a million different variations.
I like this crockpot version. The chicken and veggies cook in the crockpot and the spaghetti and cheese get added later. It splits the meal prep into two easy parts and makes dinner fit into your day.
The next time I make this, I’m planning to add a can of diced green chilies and a can of drained, diced tomatoes. Or maybe just a can of tomatoes and green chilies. I kept it simple this time, and it’s good either way. Change it up to suit your family and what you have on hand in the pantry.
Here’s what you’ll need:
There’s only one can of cream of mushroom soup in the photo, but I decided to use two. You can use cream of chicken instead of mushroom, if you like. Or use a combination of both.

I made this for dinner tonight and it was so good! Can you freeze the leftovers?
Tiffany says
Spaghetti leftovers often taste better than the first night, so I think that’s a great idea!

Would this work in the instant pot? Thanks so much!
Tiffany says
Jennifer, casseroles like this don’t seem to work as well in the IP. The amount of liquid that you have to add for the IP to come to pressure makes the spaghetti come out runny.
