Here are a few of my favorite casseroles to make: I'm not saying they are by any means healthy either.
Chicken Stuffing Casserole2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 medium carrots, coarsely chopped
1 package (8 ounces) crushed corn bread stuffing
1/2 cup butter, melted
3 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of celery soup, undiluted
1 cup chicken broth
Place 1-in. of water in a saucepan; add potatoes and carrots. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and set aside.
Toss the stuffing and butter; spread half in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Top with chicken. In a large bowl, combine the soups, broth, potatoes and carrots; spread evenly over chicken. Sprinkle with remaining stuffing mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 6-8 servings.
** Note: I don't like carrots, so I pretty much omit them from every recipe I make and it tastes just as good without them, if you don't like them either.
