dolariThis Week's Fancy Pants Meal: Chicken Spaghetti Casserole
The recipe says this was from 1978, and it certainly looks like a 1978 Sunday Night Family Dinner. It's actually pretty decent if a tiny bit bland. Definitely needs salt and pepper (the recipe didn't have any, and I didn't add any thinking the Velveeta would be salty enough), and maybe a dash of hot sauce to spice it up.
This is the original recipe, which is far larger than my scaled down dish. The recipe says "Feeds 18-20!."
