Chicken Mashed Potato Casserole
Hearty and comforting chicken and mashed potatoes topped with melted cheese and crunchy fried onions.
Ingredients
- 3 cups hot mashed potatoes you can use instant
- ½ cup grated cheddar cheese
- ⅓ cup French’s fried onions
- 3 cups cooked chicken breast shredded or diced
- 2 ½ cups frozen vegetables I usually use a bag of mixed veggies, or peas, carrots, and corn.
- 1 10.5 ounce can cream of chicken soup
- ⅓ cup milk
- ½ tsp mustard
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp pepper
Topping:
- ¼ cup grated cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup French’s fried onions
Instructions
- Stir together the mashed potatoes, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, and 1/3 cup fried onions. Spread into a greased 2 1/2 quart casserole dish, making a shell across the bottom and up the sides.
- Mix together the cooked chicken, vegetables, cream of chicken soup, milk, mustard, garlic powder, and pepper. Pour into the mashed potato shell.
- Bake at 375° for about 30 minutes or till hot.
- Top with 1/4 cup cheese and 1/4 cup fried onions and bake for about 3 more minutes, or till cheese melts and onions are golden brown. (Watch closely, the onions burn easily.)
Notes
This recipe can be adapted to use more or less of the chicken and vegetables. If you have a bunch of carnivores living at your house, use more chicken and less veggies. If you have non meat lovers, do the opposite.
