Chicken Cheese Rotini

                                                                         


                  Hearty, warm comfort food, NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!

1 Lb Ground Chicken
1/2 Box Rotini Noodles cooked & drained, use pot to make sauce
2 TBS Olive Oil
1 large Onion Chopped
2 TSP Minced Garlic
1 Bag Frozen Italian Medley Vegetables
1/2 Bag Frozen Spinach
2 TSP Cajun Seasoning
1 Cup Onion Rings cooked or Durkee Onions
2 TBS Butter
3 TBS Flour
3 Cups Milk
2 Cups Cheddar Cheese shredded
Parsley Flakes

Brown Chicken in oil, add garlic, onion & saute until tender. Add frozen vegetables, spinach & cajun seasoning.Cook until vegetables are tender stirring often. Turn off heat & make your sauce.
In the pot you cooked your noodles  melt butter, stir in flour. Slowly stir in milk making sure you whisk out any lumps. cook over medium high until sauce thickens. Now stir in cheese & cook until melted. Stir sauce into your meat mixture. Spray a deep large casserole dish & spoon mixture into the dish. Top with the onion rings ( I used the leftover onion rings from my Batter Up recipe from a couple of nights ago.) You may use some frozen onion rings just place those right on top of this casserole without precooking or use Durkee French Fried Onion Rings from the can! Any of these would be GREAT! Now sprinkle with parsley & bake in a 350 Degree oven for 35 minutes or until browned & bubbling. If you use frozen onion rings you will probably want to bake this for 45 minutes ! Serves 6 ! Great with crusty bread & a salad !
