Chicken Tetrazzini (Freezer Friendly Meal)

Freezer Friendly Chicken Tetrazzini - perfect for bulk cooking

A few weeks ago, I gathered some of my friends for a bulk cooking day. It’s one of those things that I host periodically because the accountability of knowing friends are coming makes it happen. By the end of the day, I always say, “Why don’t I do this more often?”

It’s always so worth the extra effort up front and doing it with girlfriends makes the time extra special.

Cooking up Chicken Tetrazzini in bulk for the freezer

There are many ways I have done my meal making days, but this time, I asked each guest to be responsible for one meal (times 8). I tell my friends to come with things precooked.

Since I was making Chicken Tetrazzini, I cooked up 16 pounds of chicken and enough noodles for 8 – 9×13 pans. Then we chop, dice, mix and assemble when we’re all together. I love this freezer friendly Chicken Tetrazzini recipe because it’s so easy to make and is always enjoyed by everyone.

Make Chicken Tetrazzini in bulk and freeze extras for later

You can easily change up the ingredients based on your preference, so feel free to omit the peppers, add more garlic, veggies, cheese etc. It’s a versatile recipe.

Join us for our Bulk Cooking Day with free printables and recipes Chicken Tetrazzini

Even if you don’t gather with friends, this is a recipe to put in your 10 Minute Dinner arsenal of easy meals. Never just make one of these casseroles, at least double, if not triple, the recipe and you’ll be thanking me at a later crazy, dinner hour time. 🙂

Recipe: Chicken Tetrazzini (Freezer Meals)

Summary: This easy Chicken Tetrazzini recipe is the perfect comfort casserole and freezes well.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces spaghetti
  • 1 1/2 cups diced onions, sauteed
  • 1 TB minced garlic
  • 3 TB butter
  • 1 cup chopped bell pepper
  • 5 1/2 cups diced chicken, cooked
  • 4 cups shredded cheese (your favorite or Monterey Jack cheese)
  • 2 10 1/4 ounce cans cream soup (chicken or mushroom)
  • 1 soup can milk
  • seasoning salt to taste. You’ll need quite a bit.
  • 1/2 cup mayo (optional – When I add a bit of extra veggies or spaghetti, I like a little mayo for the extra flavor it gives.)

Instructions

  1. Use pot size spaghetti or break noodles in half and cook as directed until al dente. (Still a tad firm.) Drain.
  2. Saute onion and garlic in butter until transparent. (Could saute peppers too, but that’s optional.)
  3. Thoroughly mix onions, garlic and remaining ingredients in large bowl.
  4. Put spaghetti mixture in freezer bags, 9×13 or 2 – 6 cups containers and freeze.
  5. To prepare for serving, thaw Tetrazzini and put in baking dish. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes until bubbly. I like to add extra cheese to top during the last ten minutes.

Preparation time: 15 minute(s)

Cooking time: 40 minute(s)

Number of servings (yield): 12

    The biggest kitchen mess I make is when I am baking and decorating cakes. Between the cake batter and the multiple colors of icing, it’s a pain to clean up

    I have become moderately obsessed recently with cake decorating. So now when I make a cake I will make as many as five colors of icing, plus special fillings of course. I make more mess than a preschooler and I do this now at least once a week. Fortunately, everyone likes cake.

    I have huge messes when my mom cooks for me! I am most grateful for her help all the time, but she is so fast that everything ends up everywhere. My husband teased one time when she was over visiting and he hung carrots from the cabinets and draped cucumber skins on the faucet and we all laughed I think he even stuck vegetable to my kitchen window. My mom knows that she is a living tornado in the kitchen and my messes come when I bake and fail to clean up as I go!

    the BIGGEST mess I have made in a kitchen happened when I worked in a cafeteria.I was making tartar sauce in a huge bowl which was setting in a roller base so it could be moved easier.I started to push it to where I needed to go for storage,hit a dip in the floor tile.Well,the bowl flipped,and tartar sauce went all over the door,wall and floor> I was so embarresed and had to clean it up.(thankfully a friend helped me clean up) I still don’t like tartar sauce!!!

    I have heard stories of things going wrong with pressure cookers but it was smooth sailing for me until the day I cooked too much lentil in the pressure cooker….there was just no room for the air so the safety valve opened up and it was spitting lentil soup. Luckily the valve faced upwards so it wasn’t dangerous at eye level…but I was just standing there watching lentil get all over the stove, the microwave and the ceiling!!
    I then calmly walked over to my husband and asked me if he was up for some ceiling cleaning duty. We still have a nice light brown spot in the ceiling to remind me to never cook lentil again in the pressure cooker.

    The biggest mess I make is when I make biscuits or cakes. I tend to end up with flour everywhere. I would love to win the faucet. Thanks so much for chance. And the chicken dish looks great…will be making it soon.

    We make messes every meal! 🙂 But when I do canning that is usually a huge mess! And can I say we NEED a new faucet and have been looking at this exact one!! Would love to win it!

You make me smile – and you know how I like the “cook once and eat multiple times!” In fact, I just re-watched your chicken broccoli braid video, which is what I pinned off Pinterest. I keep meaning to make this, because it’s so yummy. I had something similar at a Pampered Chef party, but you made it big enough for an actual meal. Thanks for sharing with us!

    My biggest mess is my yearly cookiefest… 50 batches of cookies starting the day after thanksgiving… sent around the country in boxes of love and joy… leaving behind a flour covered wreck of a kitchen 🙂

    Excited to have found your blog today… connected through likes on pinterest, instagram, and Facebook… subscribed to the email newsletter and pinning this post to my chicken board.

    Biggest mess – dropping a full gallon of milk that busted when it hit the floor. I never knew milk could fly so far! It was on the cabinets, the ceiling, the walls, etc. My dogs were more than willing to help clean up the floor, but it took us over an hour to clean the kitchen. Even then, we found spots of dried mild for weeks!
    Thanks for sharing the recipe. I plan to make it this weekend.

    Follow you on Pinterest and Instagram already. Subscribed to e-mail feed – not sure why I didn’t do this earlier since I check your page daily. Pinned this post.

    Anyway, as for me, am I the only one who seems to make huge messes in the kitchen on a daily basis? I love to cook and my kids (ages 4 & 9) love to help – I just can’t deny them that privilege. Not to mention a husband to clean up after – he seems to make the biggest messes when seasoning and marinating meat – gets it everywhere!

    Ha! I just did a freezer cooking morning with my MOPS moms and was so glad we did! The biggest mess I make is with big batches of cookies and breads when I dump my flour into my mixer. Whoops! Flour always goes everywhere.

    I once made a big pot of Chicken enchilada soup for a meal at my parents, proceeded to carry it to the dinner table when the whole thing spilled all over the counters and floor! I was so mad at myself I cried… But luckily my family helped me clean it all up & helped me laugh at the situation.

    I think any time I am making any kind of tomato sauce qualifies as my biggest messes in the kitchen as the rosy red sauce seems to splatter finding its way everywhere…even to the ceiling on occasion!

    My biggest mess is probably when I make meatballs/meatloaf. I add load of veggies that need to be chopped or grated so I end up using the food processor, the mixer, all the countertop space and several measuring cups & spoons. I always make a triple batch just to be sure the mess is worth it!!

    Cooking in the kitchen with my husband makes the biggest mess! I am very tidy and methodical when I cook…he is all over the place, so when we are in there together, his messiness usually wins and I just wait until after the meal to clean up!

    I would Love this! I love to see what you are gonna put on Instagram, Facebook, your website and I even fly to SC from Florida every summer to come to the Becoming Conference! I am getting a new sink so a new faucet would be Awesome! The reason I have to get a new sink is because when my 2 children and I went to Camp Glorieta for 2 weeks way back in 2006 my husband left a wrought iron pan in the sink for almost the whole 2 weeks which kinda ruined my sink. I love a clean, new looking sink! It’s been way tooo long!! Thanks for all your great ideas, I love them all.
