Cheesy Chicken and Potato Casserole with Bacon

Ingredients

  • Vegetable cooking spray
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup (Regular or 98% Fat Free)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese or Colby Jack cheese
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 (28 ounce) package frozen diced potatoes (hash browns) with onions and peppers, thawed
  • Salt
  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or thinly sliced green onion

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Use vegetable cooking spray to coat a 13x9x2-inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1 cup of the shredded Cheddar cheese, milk, garlic powder and ground black pepper.
  3. Arrange the thawed frozen diced potatoes in the prepared baking dish. Season the potatoes with salt and extra black pepper if desired. Layer the shredded cooked chicken on top. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken layer. Cover the dish.
  4. Place in the oven and bake for 40 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the contents are hot and bubbling. Remove the cover and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese over the top.
  5. Return the uncovered dish to the oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Finish by scattering the crumbled cooked bacon and chopped fresh chives over the casserole just before serving.
