Common Questions
What Type Of Potato Chips Should I Use For The Casserole Topping?
You can use whatever brand of potato chip that you like. To be honest, I usually just grab a bag of Lay’s potato chips or the store-brand equivalent to use as a casserole topping. But if you have a favorite brand of potato chip go ahead and use that. I also use plain potato chips but if you want to add another flavor profile to your casserole feel free to experiment with flavored potato chips. I think sour cream and onion or cheddar flavored chips would be pretty tasty!
Can I Use Something Else Besides Potato Chips As The Topping?
If potato chips are no your thing feel free to use dried bread crumbs tossed in some melted butter. Use 1 cup plain or seasoned bread crumbs and 1 tablespoons melted butter. Mix those two ingredients together and sprinkle over the top of your casserole.
What Kind Of Chicken Can I Use In This Chicken Noodle Casserole?
You can use any type of cooked chicken. It can be white meat chicken or dark meat chicken or a combination of the two. You can buy your chicken at the grocery store in the form of a whole rotisserie chicken or just the meat from a rotisserie chicken from your grocery stores’ deli. You can cook a whole chicken or just some chicken breasts in your slow cooker the day before.
In a pinch you could even use canned chicken.

- In a large stock pot on the stove-top, cook the egg noodles according to the directions on the package until just al dente. Drain in a colander.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss together the noodles with the remaining ingredients except for 1 cup of shredded cheese and crushed potato chips.
- Spray the insert of a 3.5 quart casserole slow cooker OR a 6 quart or larger slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
- Add mixed ingredients and spread evenly in the slow cooker.
- Top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese and crushed potato chips.
- Place a layer of paper towels or a clean flour sack kitchen towel between the slow cooker and the lid to prevent condensation from dripping on top of the casserole.
- Cook on HIGH for 2 Hours Or On LOW For 3 to 4 hours.
- Serve and enjoy!
If you would like the potato chip and cheese topping on the chicken noodle casserole to be crispier you can place the stoneware insert with the casserole inside under the broiler of your oven for 3 to 4 minutes until lightly browned and crispy.
Can this be frozen?
Once cooked I should think the casserole could be frozen Janis.
This casserole was easy to put together and was pretty tasty. My family enjoyed it. I did not have 2 cans of cream of chicken soup…had 1can and a can of cream of bacon so that is what I used. Doubt it made too big a difference overall. Yes…will be making this again. .
I have never heard of cream of bacon soup. But I bet it would be tasty in a lot of recipes! So glad you enjoyed the recipe Janice
