🍛🍴Cafeteria Noodles

Kathleen, that reminds me of a dish my Grandma used to make.
Cafeteria Noodles she called it, only with beef.
My grandmother called them cafeteria noodles as well. But she would use whatever she had on-hand. I very much love them cooked with beef. For anyone interested:
Basically 1-2 cans of condensed soup, 48 ounces of liquid, 1/2 stick of butter, and 16 ounces of dried egg noodles. Bring all to hard boil for 3 to 4 minutes, stir well once making sure nothing is stuck on the bottom. Kill the heat and cover. Let it sit covered for 15 minutes without peeking. Done.
So...for this chicken noodle dish, my soups were cream of mushroom and celery. My liquids were 24 ounces chicken broth and 24 ounces veggie broth using Better-Than-Bouillon. I like to use wide egg noodles. I also added some thyme, sage, and black pepper with a tablespoon or two of dried parsley.
After 15 minutes were up, I stir in my cooked chicken (leftover rotisserie chicken.) Serve.
This reheats well, makes a bunch, and even can be frozen. Or just divide the recipe!
