Recipe Thursday | Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole by DeDe Smith
Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole by DeDe Smith
This week’s Recipe | Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole by DeDe Smith
I love Chicken Cordon Bleu. It’s the perfect comfort food for me.  But I’ve never been great at making it – it just takes a long time and I’m not that great at breading things.  So this is perfect, because you get that same great taste, but it is so quick to put together! Serve it with some mixed veggies and maybe even some rice pilaf and you have the perfect meal!

Chicken, Ham, and Swiss – what more could you ask for!

Growing up in a small town and really close to the schools, I mostly walked home for lunch. But we really did have great cooks for our school lunches. This was one of the lunches that I enjoyed, when I did get school lunch. It’s easy and yummy and a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes.

Easy and yummy with hot dogs, mashed potatoes, and cheese!
