Directions: |
Directions:1-Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2-Lightly grease the inside of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
3-In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and cook the onion and garlic until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4-Add the flour and whisk together for about 1 minute, this will allow the flour to cook just a little before adding the other ingredients.
5-Add the sour cream and milk, and continue whisking until the mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and add all but ½ cup of the cheese.
6-Add the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper, cooked chicken, and cooked pasta.
7-Stir together, then layer evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
8-Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the top of the casserole and bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese on top is melted and the sauce is bubbly.
9-Remove the casserole and let it sit for about 15 minutes prior to serving. |
