Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 pound chicken hamburgers
Vegetables
- 4 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
Dairy & Canned Goods
- 1 cup cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or choice)
Spices
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the casserole evenly.
- Brown Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken hamburgers for 5-7 minutes until browned. Then, crumble the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces for easy mixing.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled and diced potatoes, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, and half of the shredded cheese. Stir in the crumbled chicken pieces until everything is well incorporated.
- Assemble Casserole: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Pour the mixture into the dish, smoothing it out, then sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish & Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving to add a fresh flavor and appealing color.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add chopped onions or bell peppers to the mixture.
- Use your favorite type of shredded cheese such as Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or a cheese blend for variation.
- Make sure the potatoes are diced evenly for uniform cooking.
- This casserole can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated, then baked when ready to serve.
- If you want a crispier top, broil the casserole for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
