Pin This RecipeThis recipe came about much like my Crack Potatoes recipe – leftover Crack Dip. I hardly ever make a regular chicken casserole. In my opinion, the old-school sour cream and cream of chicken soup recipe is too mushy and lacks flavor. I thought if I substituted Crack Dip for the sour cream and added noodles it might be good. I was wrong, it was great! Seriously delicious! Chicken Legs especially loved it. This makes a ton, so I froze half of it for later. This is definitely going in the regular dinner rotation!

I can’t wait to make this! I am going to lighten it up a bit w/ fat free soups & light sour cream 7 I’m going to add peas, carrots & onion, as suggested by a few others, but this sounds fantastic! Love your recipes! 🙂
Very good! I cut back on the sour cream and added some milk so it wouldn’t be quite so rich. I also added frozen peas. I also skipped the frito topping and did a panko/ dried onion topping
