Chow Mein Chicken Casserole

Chow Mein Chicken Casserole 1 tablespoon butter 1 small red bell pepper, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 (8-ounce) packages sliced fresh mushrooms 3 green onions, chopped 1 (10-3/4-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted 3/4 cup mayonnaise 1 tablespoon soy sauce 3 cups chopped cooked chicken 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 (5-ounce) can chow mein noodles (2 cups) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Melt butter in a large skillet. Add red bell pepper, garlic, and mushrooms; saute until tender. Stir in chopped green onions and next 5 ingredients. Pour into a lightly greased 7- x 11-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with chow mein noodles. Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes or until bubbly. Notes Don't worry if you don't have the exact ingredients on hand. You can substitute green bell pepper for the red, cream of chicken soup for mushroom soup, and chopped cooked pork for the chicken. And if you have canned mushrooms in your pantry, 2 (4.5-ounce) cans substitute nicely for the fresh. Just drain 'em-there's no need to saute
