****Topping:

METHOD

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a 9”x13” baking dish by spraying with oil, and setting aside.

Prepare noodles according to package instructions just until al dente, adding peas during the last 2 minutes of cooking; drain both in a colander.

Meanwhile, add olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, celery, crimini mushrooms, and saute until onions are translucent. Add the garlic, sea salt and ground pepper, to taste, and saute 30 seconds longer, then remove skillet from heat.

In a separate large bowl, mix together drained chilies, milk, soup, sour cream, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, worcestershire, and old bay seasoning. Gently fold in  drained noodles, peas, and smoked salmon chunks. Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish; cover with foil, and bake for 20 minutes.

Remove casserole from oven and sprinkle crushed french fried onions evenly over the top, and then return to oven, uncovered, and continue baking 10 minutes longer, until heated through and top is golden. ~ Enjoy!

Pipin' hot out of the oven...

  1. This sounds and looks so good. Can you recommend where to purchase jarred salmon? I have never heard or seen this type of packaging he is Florida, USA.

    Thank you.

  2. Thank you very much the wild magnolia, it is available for purchase from a local Juneau, Alaska company at http://www.alaskacannery.com/; it's delicious and highly recommended! We also like their jalapeno version, especially when preparing salmon dip!
