Ingredients

Units Scale

Pasta and Eggs

  • 16 ounces Spaghetti
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese
  • 5 TBSP Butter, Melted

Cheese and Dairy

  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese, Softened
  • 2 10 ounce Cans Cream of Chicken Soup
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • 2 cups Mozzarella Cheese

Protein and Vegetables

  • 2 cups Shredded Chicken
  • 1 pound Sun-Dried Tomatoes
  • Bacon (amount not specified, estimated 6-8 slices)

Seasonings

  • 1 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly oil a 9×13 inch baking dish and set it aside for later use.
  2. Cook Spaghetti and Bacon: Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions until al dente. While the pasta cooks, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels, then crumble once cooled.
  3. Prepare Parmesan Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and parmesan cheese. Toss this mixture with the cooked and drained spaghetti noodles to coat evenly.
  4. Mix Cream Cheese Sauce: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, crumbled bacon, sun-dried tomatoes, and seasonings: Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and onion powder. Stir until well blended.
  5. Layer the Casserole: Pour half of the spaghetti mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with half of the cream cheese mixture. Repeat layering with the remaining spaghetti and cream cheese mixture, then top the casserole with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, until the casserole is hot, bubbly, and the cheese on top is melted and slightly golden.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to easily blend with other ingredients for a smooth sauce.
  • Use cooked shredded chicken for convenience—rotisserie chicken works well.
  • Sun-dried tomatoes add a tangy sweetness that balances the creamy sauce; you can substitute with fresh diced tomatoes if unavailable.
  • The bacon adds a smoky crunch, but can be omitted or replaced with turkey bacon for a leaner version.
  • Customize the seasoning to taste, adding more Italian seasoning or garlic if preferred.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
