I know, I know...another chicken noodle casserole recipe. I know that everyone has made this dish, but I'm telling you, this one is delicious and I make it all the time. The leftovers are even better the next day. This one is similar to Mom's recipe but it has sour cream instead of mayo. (I'm not much of a mayo person.) Enjoy!
