Mashed Potato Casserole


Close up shot of a wooden spoon scooping out mashed potato casserole with crispy chicken.
No surprise here that this is one of my husband's new favorites! I actually have adapted this for my kids as an easy meal too, using instant potatoes and chicken nuggets with cheese on top...you get the idea! Recipe and picture from The Cozy Cook!


Ingredients

5 cups mashed potatoes
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup cheddar cheese freshly grated
6 Tyson Chicken Strips
.87 oz. packet Brown Gravy Mix


Instructions

*Make mashed potatoes as you normally would...homemade or boxed is fine. Then prepare casserole.

Preparing the Casserole:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Take out your chicken strips and let them sit at room temp for about 5 minutes if you prefer to slice them first. 

Spread the potatoes on the bottom of a casserole dish. (Mine was 13.25 x 9 but variations are fine.) 

Note: If your mashed potatoes are cold, warm them first. 

Top with corn and cheese. 

Carefully slice the chicken strips into pieces of desired size and top the casserole dish with them. 

Bake for 20 minutes, until the chicken is crisp. 

Prepare the gravy on the stove top according to package instructions while the casserole finishes baking. 

Drizzle your desired amount of gravy over the casserole dish and serve!
