Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 2 cups chicken (cooked, or turkey breast meat or 2-12 ounce cans of chicken breasts)
  • Chicken or turkey gravy (2 1/2 cups or 2-10 ounce cans of gravy)
  • 15 ounces vegetables, canned (of your choice or just use leftovers that you have)
  • Prepared stuffing (3 to 4 cups, I use boxed if I don't have homemade and I use 2 boxes)
  • 3 to 4 cups mashed potatoes (fresh or flakes)
  • 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3/4 cup cranberries (optional)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: If you are making the casserole after having a turkey dinner, this is much easier for you. Just mix the stuffing, turkey, gravy, vegetables, cranberries if using and mix all together.

  • Step 2: Place in a prepared 9x13 pan or casserole dish.

  • Step 3: Spread the mashed potatoes over the top and top with cheese.

  • Step 4: Bake at 375 for 30-40 minutes until cheese is melted and browns and casserole is bubbly.

  • Step 5: If you do not have all the leftovers from a huge turkey dinner, then prepare the boxed stuffing and mashed potatoes. If you have leftover chicken or turkey to use up, just shred them or use tinned. Either works. I have even used rotisserie.

  • Step 6: Mix the meat, stuffing, veggies, cranberries if using and gravy together.

  • Step 7: Pour into a prepared 9x13 pan or a casserole dish.

  • Step 8: Spread the mashed potatoes over the top and spread the cheese over.

  • Step 9: Bake at 375 degrees for 30-40 minutes until cheese is melted and browned and casserole gets bubbly.
