This recipe isn't mine at all - its MY variation of a classic from Kraft. They use 3 cups of a vegetable mix, no cheese in the original. I use cheese, steamed broccoli and at Thanksgiving - all bets are off as you can build a beautiful "Leftovers Casserole" using cranberry sauce, turkey and stuffing! Enjoy! Diane
Diane’s Chicken & Stuffing Casserole Ingredients: 2-3 chicken breasts, sliced thin and cut into bite sized pieces. 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese olive oil or cooking spray 1 package StoveTop Chicken Stuffing 1 10oz can 'cream of chicken' condensed soup 1/3 cup sour cream 1 12oz bag frozen broccoli florets, *or 2 cups steamed fresh florets Salt & Pepper Directions:
Variation for Thanksgiving Leftovers: Use leftover turkey, some leftover cranberry sauce, leftover turkey dressing/stuffing. Use any leftover vegetables you think would add to the casseroles flavor. Omit cheese if preferred . Recipe adapted from Kraft by: Diane Bake A very easy slow-cooker recipe. This recipe does require a little more "hands-on" attention in the last 25 minutes of cook time. The broccoli needs to be cut, washed and cooked, any rice or noodles need cooked and the liquid in the slow-cooker needs a cornstarch 'slurry' added to thicken up the liquid into a sauce before serving. That all said, this dish is quite tasty! We love the addition of the red chili pepper flakes. When serving more then just my family, I like to leave the flakes out and instead have a bottle of red chili oil on the table when serving, so that each person can use or omit as they prefer. You can also use *low-sodium soy sauce but, I would increase that to 2/3 cup.

Diane Cream of Broccoli-Cheddar Soup Ingredients: 6 Tbs unsalted butter 1 small onion, chopped 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 2 cups half-and-half 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth 2 bay leaves 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 4 cups broccoli florets (about 1 head) 1 large carrot, diced 2 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar. plus, more for garnish. Directions: Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the flour and cook until golden, 3 to 4 minutes, then gradually whisk in the half-and-half until smooth. Add the chicken broth, bay leaves and nutmeg, then season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, until thickened, about 20 minutes. Add the broccoli and carrot to the broth mixture and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. Puree the soup in batches in a blender until smooth; you'll still have flecks of carrot and broccoli. Return to the pot. (Or puree the soup in the pot with an immersion blender.) Add the cheese to the soup and whisk over medium heat until melted. *Add up to 3/4 cup water if the soup is too thick. Ladle into bowls, or even bread bowls and garnish with cheese.
