Title: A few Casserole recipes
Post by: Astro on August 17, 2008, 12:29 PM

Here are a few of my favorite casseroles to make:  I'm not saying they are by any means healthy either.   ;)


Chicken Stuffing Casserole

2 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.   ;)  )
