Broccoli remains crisp-tender in this recipe, though you can substitute any leftover cooked vegetables. Assemble the casserole the night before. Cover, refrigerate, and bake in the morning.
Assembly time is minimal with this simple casserole combining chicken, cream of mushroom soup, cheddar cheese and broccoli. Dry stuffing mix is sprinkled over the top for a crunchy, flavorful topping.
'I created this meal-in-one dish when trying to use up a large head of broccoli,' recalls Lisa Montgomery of Elmira, Ontario. 'It's requested at least once a week in our home, which is handy for me since it's easy to prepare and we always have the ingredients.'
Bite-sized bits of sauteed chicken meld with the fresh flavors of tomatoes and broccoli. Onion, garlic and oregano add earthy tones to the sauce. Toss with penne and a zesty handful of chopped fresh basil.
Colorful, hearty and tender, this slow-cooked stew features all the traditional ingredients of a good beef stew: beef, carrots, onion, potatoes, peas in a rich gravy.
