Ingredients

3 cups elbow macaroni
½ cup diced carrots
⅓ cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon butter
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 cup Caesar salad dressing
½ cup chopped sweet bell peppers
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain.
Mix carrots, onion, and butter together in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Bake carrot mixture in the preheated oven until slightly tender, about 10 minutes.
Mix macaroni, chicken, 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, Caesar dressing, sweet bell peppers, and Parmesan cheese into carrot mixture; top with remaining mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is heated through and cheese is melted, about 25 minutes.
