Spooky Confetti Casserole


What are we cooking up this October? If you’re not into witch stew, how about Spooky Confetti Casserole? This is actually just a colorful variation of a recipe we posted earlier — Easy Chicken & Rice Bake. Stir in a few eyes, ears, or other spare body parts if you’d like!



Spooky Confetti Casserole Yield: Makes one 9” square casserole / 4 servings
¼ to ½ cup diced onion
Make quick work of cooking
rice by using a rice cooker. I cook
several cups at a time for use during
the week. Cooked rice also freezes well.
1 large red pepper, diced
A couple of tablespoons of olive oil
1½ to 2 cups cooked chicken or Chicken Mix, thawed
1 cup cooked rice
1 (10 3/4 oz.) can mushroom soup or make one batch of White Sauce
½ to ¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
About ½ to 1 cup frozen peas (amount may be varied to suit your taste)
½ to 1 teaspoon salt
½ to 1 teaspoon pepper


1.        Sauté onions and pepper in olive oil until tender.

2.        Mix all ingredients together and put in casserole. 

3.        Bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until hot and bubbly. 

Or freeze the unbaked casserole; thaw and bake as directed above.
