  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) water (use the empty soup can for measurement)

  • Dash of black pepper, garlic powder, or paprika for added flavor
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 1–2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (optional)
  • 1 cup diced cooked chicken (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish with butter.

  3. Pour the mixture into the greased dish and spread evenly.

  7. After baking, check for doneness (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Optionally broil for an additional 3–5 minutes for a golden finish.
