Funny Name: Not up to the challenge edition

Based on the name of this recipe from The Garden Club Cookbook Casseroles Including Breads (The Montgomery Federation of Garden Clubs, 1969), I kind of expected it to include something that really doesn't belong in chicken casserole, like fruit cocktail, lime gelatin, paraffin, or thumb tacks.


Challenging Chicken Casserole is a pretty typical '60s casserole, though-- chicken, rice, multiple canned soups, and a little optional seasoning. The trickiest step is probably cutting up the chicken, so I'm not sure what makes this such a challenge. Maybe it's just pretending that this is much different from any of the other recipes in the chapter?


R.I.P. Norm Macdonald. You were so good at being Burt Reynolds/ Turd Ferguson that I kind of forgot I posted your picture so much.

    Perhaps the challenge is eating it. 3 different cream of something soups, an additional 1/2 tsp salt, and optional seasoning salt and onions.

      Yeah-- non salt-o-philes might find the salt a little overwhelming.
