In this thread, we help Kevin to plan a "welcome home" meal for his wife

This is one of my favorite things to fix for guests, because I can make it ahead of time & just heat it up. Also, it's a meal in itself -- the only thing else you might serve with it is a green salad.

DANISH SPAGHETTI

Ingredients:
1 (12 oz.) Pkg. vermicelli or thin spaghetti (cooked)
1 medium onion chopped
1 small jar chopped mushrooms (drained)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 can chicken broth (I like the roasted garlic flavor broth)
1/2 pound pork breakfast sausage
1 package Frozen spinach (thawed and drained)
1 (8 oz.) Can tomato sauce
1/2 pound Velveeta
2 cups cooked cubed or shredded chicken (I buy the pre-cooked packages that are made for salad toppings)
salt and pepper to taste


Directions:

Cook sausage until brown. Drain and pat dry with paper towels to remove as much grease as possible. Saute onion in large skillet in 1 tablespoon butter until transparent. Add spinach, mushrooms, tomato sauce, chili powder, and chicken broth. Simmer a few minutes. Melt Velveeta in microwave with 1/2 cup water to thin (about a minute at a time: Cook 1 minute, stir, cook another minute, stir, until thin and smooth). Add Velveeta to mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add cooked noodles and mix well. Fold in cooked chicken gently. Spray 9 x 13 casserole dish with non-stick spray and pour mixture into dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Freezes well.
