CASHEW NOODLE CASSEROLE

Cashew Noodle Casserole image

Chow mein noodles and cashews give this dish a delectable crunch. Whenever I take it to potlucks, it disappearers before my eyes. You can make the casserole and freeze it; stir in the chow mein noodles just before serving.-Marion Petersson, Wetaskiwin, Alberta
