Equipment

  • 10-inch square baking dish
  • large pot
  • Potato Masher

Ingredients
  

Vegetables

  • 3 pounds red potatoes cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium broccoli crown about 2-3 cups bite-size broccoli florets

Dairy

  • 4 tablespoons butter room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheese see cook's note, divided

Meat

  • 3 cups cooked chopped chicken
  • 4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled

Seasoning

  • ½-1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 10-inch square baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and then transfer them back to the hot pot.
  • While the potatoes are boiling, steam or roast the broccoli until hot and barely softened. It should still be a little bit crisp. Drain any liquid from the broccoli. Cook the bacon, chop or crumble and set aside.
  • Place the pot with the potatoes back over the warm (but turned off) burner. Smash the potatoes with a potato masher. Add the butter, sour cream, salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika. Stir to combine.
  • Add the cooked broccoli, chicken, bacon, and 1 cup of cheese to the pot. Stir to mix throughout and then transfer to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the casserole is heated through. Enjoy!

Notes

This recipe will work well with rotisserie chicken, leftover roasted chicken, or with any pre-cooked chicken. Monterey Jack, Cheddar, or a Mexican blend shredded cheese will all work with this recipe. A larger (9x13 style) dish will work as well, just watch the time and be careful not to overcook.
