During the chilly winter months, I love creating quick and easy casseroles that I can throw in the oven once all the kids are home.
What’s so great about casseroles is that you can prepare them ahead of time. Whether it’s earlier in the morning or even right before dinner, it really doesn’t matter when you put all of the ingredients together, it will taste the same.
On busy days, I will typically make a casserole in the morning before the kids head off to school, cover it with foil and refrigerate.
Then right before dinner time, I preheat my oven, take my casserole out of the refrigerate and then bake it, viola! Dinner is made.
Simple, easy and I’ve kept most of my sanity.
Now because my entire family loves creamy sauces, I always try to incorporate them into a casserole. Solely because I know they will then eat it, it is full of mushrooms. This is a tip from Mom Hacks: 101.
What’s great about this Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Casserole is that you can serve it over rice, noodles or just with bread.
Really whatever you have on hand will work. My family prefers egg noodles, while I prefer rice. If you would rather take out the carbs, just make a salad – the two will complement each other well.
While I completely get that sometimes it seems hard to whip up a casserole right before dinner, don’t forget that typically you can make them in advance.
Your weeknights can be simplified with easy recipes like this Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Casserole.

My favorite kitchen items I used to make this Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Casserole.
- 9×13 BAKING PAN: I use my 9×13 baking pans all the time. Dinner, cakes and even for play dough fun, these are a kitchen must have in our home. I prefer the dark pans over glass pan – all because I feel like they cook more evenly, but this is just my own personal preference.
- MIXING BOWLS: I love having a variety of sizes of mixing bowls. From small to large, I find that having at least 3 bowls of different sizes have been essential in my kitchen. I prefer Pyrex because of the durability.
- GLASS MEASURING CUPS: I use these all the time – almost daily. The large 4-cup one I use as a bowl most of the time. Mixing together sauces and gravy. The small ones I use for baking, mainly measuring liquids.
