    • Sprinkle a cup of corn flakes, bread crumbs, or crushed butter crackers on top of the casserole before baking for an added crunch.
    • Add chopped veggies to the dish like chopped onion or bell pepper. Mixed veggies like corn, carrots, peas or broccoli are a great addition also.

    🍴 Serving Suggestions

    Top individual servings with green onions and additional sour cream and bacon - afterall, it is a loaded casserole!

    My favorite side dish to serve with this is Garlic Green Beans, Broccoli, or a light salad. Add some rolls for an quick meal. This fruit salad is an easy side dish, too.

      As I am a Pescatarian I use Morningstar Veggie Bacon & Quorn Chicken alternative pieces in this recipe. Also, I like using a 5-Italian Cheese Blend of shredded cheeses in a lot of my recipes but kept to the Monterey & Sharp Cheddar for this one.

      I have a casserole similar to this with ham! I'd love to try it with chicken and especially the added ranch dressing. It really sounds so rich and creamy. Anything is better too with bacon added!

      Is it 2 cups total of cheeses or 2 cups of each kind of cheese? Thank you

        Hi Amber, you'll need 1 cup of each type of cheese, with a little of each reserved for the top of the casserole. Enjoy!
