Fall is in the air with crispy mornings, warm days and cool evenings when the sun goes down. We usually started having a lot of cold rain by October. We would be excited as kids for Halloween and dressing up to go trick or treating and usually would end up wearing coats and hats over our outfits because it was so cold or rainy. This is the time of year we would break out the casserole dish and prepare delicious warm meals for dinner.
This dish is an easy one to put together in about an hour. I love the crunchy noodles on top that compliment the rice and soups that have blended together. I always add extra noodles on top when I serve this dish.
