Cheesy Chicken Casserole

By Walt

This cheesy dish is similar to the potluck classic known as poppyseed chicken casserole, or Ritz cracker chicken casserole. For even more variations, experiment with adding your favorite veggies, substituting different cheeses, or swapping in low-fat sour cream to reduce the calorie load.

Ingredients

• 4 chicken breasts, cooked and chopped (season with salt and pepper)
• 1 (16 ounce) package wide egg noodles, cooked
• 1 (24 ounce) container sour cream
• 2 (10 3/4 ounce cans cream of chicken soup
• 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 sleeve round buttery crackers, crushed (optional)
