👨‍🍳 Helpful Cooking Tips

Want to make this already-amazing casserole even better? Here are a few professional touches:

  • Use a rotisserie chicken for ultimate flavor and convenience.

  • Pre-crisp the bacon: Don’t skip this! Bacon that hasn’t been cooked will be soggy and overly greasy.

  • Add a cheesy topping: Sprinkle a bit more cheddar or some crushed Ritz crackers on top before baking for extra crunch.

  • Let it rest: Once out of the oven, let the casserole sit for 5–10 minutes. This helps everything set up and makes serving cleaner.
