CHICKEN SPAGHETTI
With spaghetti and mushroom sauce, and light and dark meat chicken with bell peppers, Ree Drummond's casserole is like two meals in one. Cooking the spaghetti in the same liquid as the chicken infuses it with flavor, and the Cheddar thickens the sauce so it coats each piece of meat.

- Use Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your dish. Opt for fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.

- Use a Large Casserole Dish: This will ensure that the casserole cooks evenly and doesn't overflow.
- Don't Skimp on the Cheese: Cheese is what makes this casserole so rich and flavorful. Use a generous amount of shredded cheese, and don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese.
- Let the Casserole Rest: Before serving, let the casserole rest for a few minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the casserole to set.
