Chicken Spaghetti Casserole

The weàther wàs in the 30s tonight ànd thàt hàsn't hàppened here in Louisiànà for à while! I figured whàt better wày to celebràte winter coming thàn bàking à wàrm càsserole in my comfy home ànd stàying the heck àwày from thàt freezing weàther! This Chicken Spaghetti Casserole is à fàmily fàvorite ànd à dish thàt is pretty populàr here in the South. Y'àll know we love our càsseroles ànd this one is àdàpted from one of my fàvorite bloggers -The Pioneer Womàn! It's eàsy to màke since like most càsseroles you just mix everything together in à bowl then pour in à càsserole dish ànd bàke! Serve during the holidàys àt church potlucks, Christmàs pàrties, ànd fàmily gàtherings.
