This casserole is a great make-ahead meal. I just assembled it the night before and then baked it the next day.

I added some chopped bacon to this casserole, and it was amazing! The bacon added a lot of flavor and made the casserole even more satisfying.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. I just added them to the casserole instead of the rice.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used almond milk instead of regular milk in this recipe. It turned out just as good!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my casserole turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the chicken.

I added some chopped broccoli to this casserole, and it was a great addition. It added some extra veggies and made the casserole even more filling.

I'm not a fan of celery, so I omitted it from the recipe. The casserole still turned out delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my casserole didn't turn out as thick as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This casserole was a little too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great dish to make ahead of time and reheat later.
