Cashew Chicken Casserole image

I especially like this dish because I can get it ready the day before I need it. It's easy to whip up with common pantry items, including macaroni, canned soup and saltine crackers. -Julie Ridlon, Solway, Minnesota

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by reducing the amount of cayenne pepper.
