Ingredients:
· Whole chicken
· 2c raw spaghetti noodles
· 2 cans cream of mushroom soup
· onion
· green pepper
· pimentos
· 3c sharp cheddar cheese
· Lawry's Seasonal salt
· Layenne pepper 1/8 tablespoon
· salt
· pepper
Preparation:
To begin preparing the meal, fill a
large pot full of water, and bring it to a boil. In order to reduce the risk of
poisoning, rinse your chicken thoroughly. Once you are poison- free, allow the
chicken to boil, creating a chicken broth, for 30-40 minutes.
"Mama, I want to play
Transformers! Not the old one, but the new one with Optimus!" Happy but
outright annoying, you could hear my little brother's screeches of joy over our
television set about his Transformers. Traditionally, we would play National
Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation while my mother cooked chicken spaghetti on
Christmas Eve; once while she is cooking and again when she finishes. Giving up
on the movie, I made my way into the kitchen, only to be kicked out by my
mother.
“Get out, and go help your brother!
I am busy!”
To not be
grossed out, dicing all of the ironically flavorful vegetables in something
highly recommended. Dice the green peppers, onions, and pimentos. Because it is
obvious that some people have problems eating long noodles, the recipe requires
you to fill two and a half cups of 2-inch spaghetti noodles. Spill the noodles
into the pot to allow them to cook; but not all of the way. The most fun part
out of the whole recipe is cleaning the bones of chicken meat. Two cups of
pulled chicken meat is necessary to make this dinner. Apply cooked noodles,
chicken, onions, peppers, pimentos, and cream of mushroom soup into a bowl. Add
everything else into the bowl.
By this
time my mom is tired of being in the kitchen and is ready to enjoy the best
Christmas movie ever. Because my brother was so high- demanding, she never
really got to watch the movie with us that night. In fact, I cannot remember a
time where she got to fully watch the movie and not be interrupted by my
brother’s cries of demand.
Finally,
her hard work was almost complete. Place the mixture in a pan, and place it in
the oven for 35-45 minutes on 350 degrees. Add additional cheese before the
mixture goes in the oven.
On my mom’s
little break, she enjoyed the rest of the movie with me. My step dad had run
off the silence my brother. Even though she is exhausted and does not even want
to even look at the food anymore, she still had to get up when the alarm
sounds. When the oven opened, the most heavenly smell of cheese and chicken
roamed throughout the whole house. Because of this wonderful meal my mother
prepared, I remember our house being the happiest on the block.
