Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound spaghetti
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (like Rotel)
  • 1 (10.75-ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste)
  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cook the spaghetti. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain the spaghetti and set aside.
  • Sauté the vegetables. While the spaghetti is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Make the sauce. Stir in the diced tomatoes and green chilies, cream of chicken soup, cream cheese, diced tomatoes, milk, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the cream cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Combine the ingredients. Add the cooked spaghetti and shredded chicken to the sauce. Toss to combine, making sure everything is evenly coated.
  • Assemble the casserole. Pour the spaghetti mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups of the cheddar cheese.
  • Bake the casserole. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and bake for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
