Dutch Oven Cheesy Chicken Tetrazzini

October 25th, 2006 spryken

Yes, very cheesy and delicious…..

• 1 (7oz) package spaghetti - salted, cooked, and drained
• 1/4 cup butter or margarine
• 1 medium green pepper, chopped
• 2 1/2 T all purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 (10oz) jar diced pimento
• 1/8 t garlic powder
• 1/4 cup dry white wine (or water)
• 1 (4oz) can sliced mushrooms drained
• 4 chicken breasts halves - cooked & cut into bite-sized pieces
• 3 cups (12oz) shredded processed american cheese (or use a mixture of Monteray Jack, cheddar, and American)
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds

Combine butter and green pepper in a sauce pan & saute. Add flour, and stir well. Stir in next 6 ingredients and 2 cups of shredded cheese. Heat thoroughly, stirring constantly.

Add the cooked spaghetti and stir to combine. Transfer to your Dutch Oven. Sprinkle remaining cheese over casserole. Top with almonds. Cover and bake on 300 for 45 minutes.

I doubled everything except the cheese. Used about 3-4 cups total. Baked using 8-10 coals on the bottom and 14-16 on top. Baked for about an hour, until nicely browned and bubbling.
Great Success!!
