How to Make 5 Can Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Drain one (10.75 ounce) can of condensed cream of mushroom soup into a medium bowl.
  3. Drain one (10.75 ounce) can of condensed cream of chicken soup and add to the bowl with the mushroom soup.
  4. Drain one (15 ounce) can of chicken, reserving about 2 tablespoons of the chicken broth. Break the chicken into bite-sized pieces with a fork and add to the soup mixture.
  5. Add one (10.75 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained, to the bowl.
  6. Add one (10 ounce) can of French fried onions and mix thoroughly with the soups and chicken.
  7. Stir in the reserved 2 tablespoons of chicken broth (adjust to make the casserole less thick if needed).
  8. Pour the mixture into a greased 1 ½-quart casserole dish.
  9. Optional: Add one (10 ounce) package of frozen mixed vegetables at this point.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until heated through and lightly browned on top. If using frozen vegetables, bake for an additional 5-7 minutes to ensure they are fully cooked.
  11. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
