2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
3 cups dry spaghetti, broken into 2-inch pieces
2 cans cream of mushroom soup

1 tsp Lawry’s Seasoned Salt
1/8-1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Assemble: Pour the mixture into a casserole dish. Top with the remaining 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese.
Bake or Store:
Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 45 minutes, or until bubbly. If the cheese starts to over-brown, cover with foil.
