Chow mein casserole is a delectable dish that combines the flavors of classic chow mein with the convenience of a casserole. This hearty and comforting meal is perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings. With its combination of tender noodles, savory vegetables, and a flavorful sauce, chow mein casserole is sure to be a hit.

The sauce coats the noodles and vegetables, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. The vegetarian chow mein casserole, on the other hand, offers a meatless option with the same savory sauce. Both variations are topped with a crispy layer of fried noodles, adding an irresistible crunch to each bite.
In addition to the main recipes, this article also includes a helpful guide to preparing the essential components of chow mein casserole. It covers how to cook the noodles, stir-fry the vegetables, and make the delicious sauce. With step-by-step instructions and helpful tips, this guide ensures that you can enjoy a perfect chow mein casserole every time.

CHICKEN CHOW MEIN CASSEROLE
This simple casserole version of chicken chow mein makes great use of leftover chicken or turkey and is easy on the budget and your time. I don't measure or weigh the amount of chicken I use but the original recipe calls for 3 pounds so I've left the recipe that way. I just use whatever I have left over, or I'll stew a few chicken breasts or pieces if I'm starting from scratch. If you've got 2-3 cups of chicken you'll be in good shape. For a little extra kick add some red pepper flakes. You can easily cut this recipe in half for a smaller family.

This is my Mom's recipe. Don't know where she got it, but it is delicious. We always put it over chow mein (toasted) noodles, but it is good over rice, soba and Marco Polo noodles as well. Even my Father liked this and he always swore he hated cooked onions.

- Add some protein: Chow mein casserole is a great way to use up leftover chicken, beef, or pork. You can also add tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian option.
- Top it with cheese: Cheese is a classic topping for chow mein casserole. It adds a gooey, cheesy flavor that everyone will love.
