All of your favorite flavors combined into a delicious casserole. Dinner has never been so easy, this casserole is ready to go in just 30 minutes.

I am obsessed with buffalo flavored everything, however my husband is even more obsessed. I love the unique taste it gives food. This isn’t your same repetitive meal that you eat every other night.

This Buffalo Chicken Bake has a flavor kick (not much of a spice kick, unless you add a spicy buffalo sauce).

I am guilty of sometimes making the same few dishes again and again, but this is a great way to mix dinner up. It’s also delicious.

If you are looking for a simple, delicious, and easy dinner, you need this in your life.

what other noodles could I use for this Buffalo Chicken bake?

You could really use any type of noodle for this recipe. I prefer to use the Penne, but we also like using:
-bowtie
-macaroni
-rigatoni
-orzo
-fusilli
-rotini

We have never made it with spaghetti noodles, but noodles are noodles, and I’m sure it would work if you used it. We personally like using the penne.

what could i replace cream cheese with?

If you aren’t feeling the cream cheese, you could easily replace. The recipe works best with cream cheese, but you could also use plain Greek yogurt as a replacement.

If you are going to use the Greek yogurt, your texture of the pasta bake, will be a little different. It will be more liquidy, and won’t stick together as well. It will also taste a little different.

It won’t be too much of an obvious change, but enough that you will be able to see a small difference.

This is really delicious and easy! You can even make ahead then bake. I followed the recipe except I doubled the bread crumbs and butter because we love the topping. I have made this ahead of time but waited until I was read to put it in the oven for the topping then put in the oven for 20 minutes
