Loaded Chicken Hashbrown Casserole–an easy dinner made with rotisserie chicken, crispy bacon, cheddar cheese, frozen hash browns in a creamy sauce.
Loaded Chicken Hashbrown Casserole
This recipe reminded me of a glorified funeral potato casserole, except it’s hearty enough to be dinner thanks to the chicken and bacon mixed in. I almost always pick up a rotisserie chicken from Costco because it’s affordable and makes recipes like this incredibly convenient. I cooked my bacon in the air fryer while I mixed everything else together. However, if you want to make dinner even easier, bacon crumbles work just fine too. The ranch dressing mix is really the secret ingredient. It adds so much flavor. This is one of those casseroles that everyone seems to go back for seconds. Enjoy!
