Related: Shortcut Sausage & Cranberry Stuffing
While I enjoy cooking dinner, I am no snob when it comes to using a few shortcuts from the store. This mama has a lot going on.
The other day I was craving some serious comfort food. It's been kind of rainy and dreary and just the kind of weather where you want something like a casserole, you know what I mean?
Anyway, I remembered this dish I made way back when and thought "wow, I really should update those pictures on the blog". So I adjusted a few things in the recipe and took new pictures.
In order to make this casserole as easy and quickly as possible, I'm using the shortcut of boxed stuffing mix, jarred gravy and rotisserie chicken. How easy is that?
But does it taste good?
Well, my answer to that is, last night our oldest daughter had a night class. After she came home, I found her cleaning a big plateful of the Chicken & Stuffing Casserole. I looked at her weird. I looked at her like that because
A. She doesn't like stuffing
B. She doesn't care for gravy
She looked at me and said "this is really good". I asked her if she liked stuffing now and she said "no but I like this".
So is it good? I'd say it's better than good if a person who doesn't like stuffing can devour a huge serving of it.
Quick Note: I served green beans along side our Chicken and Stuffing Casserole. However, if you prefer you could add beans right into the casserole.
Chicken and Stuffing Casserole

I had some left-over turkey & dressing, so made this casserole with that. I didn’t have any gravy left, so used a can of cream of mushroom soup & made up the difference with milk & some chicken bouillon powder. It was very tasty - good “comfort food”. Would try it again but using the gravy as in the posted recipe. I debated adding some sauteed mushrooms, too, but I had added chopped mushrooms to my turkey dressing.

I made this last night, and it is delicious. Best casserole recipe I've found in a while. It's so easy, and you can add anything to it you want. I added a little more gravy, just because I love gravy. And I added some frozen peas, just because I love peas. But you certainly don't need to add anything if you don't want to. This will become a regular dish in my house!

Comfort food for sure! Our powers been out for hours. I was freeeezing in here and as soon as it was restored, I threw this together but doubled it adding canned veggies, like corn, peas etc and it’s cooking now. At least if the wind takes our power again, dinner will be ready!
