Description

Southern Spaghetti Bake is a creamy, comforting casserole that brings tender shredded chicken, al dente spaghetti, and a rich cheese sauce into one cozy dish. Layered with sour cream, cream-of soups, and melty cheddar and mozzarella, this Southern-inspired bake bakes to bubbly perfection. Easy to make for weeknights, potlucks, or family dinners, it delivers warm, cheesy goodness in every bite and leftovers that taste even better.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz spaghetti, cooked and drained
  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional topping: sliced green onions or parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a skillet, sauté onion and garlic until softened.
  3. In a large bowl, mix cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, cheddar cheese, mozzarella, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne (if using), salt, and pepper.
  4. Stir in shredded chicken and cooked spaghetti until everything is well coated.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish and spread evenly.
  6. Bake 25–30 minutes or until hot, bubbly, and lightly golden on top.
  7. Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Add green onions or parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Use the optional cayenne pepper for a subtle kick.
  • Swap mushroom soup for cream of celery if you prefer.
  • Leftovers refrigerate well for up to 3–4 days.
  • Let the dish rest a few minutes before serving to set; this helps slice cleanly.
