Tip
- You can prepare the casserole earlier in the day, cover it with foil, and refrigerate it until you're ready to bake it. Serve the casserole with cranberry sauce on the side, along with your family's favorite veggie sides.
Glass Bakeware Warning
For premade casseroles or leftovers that are in a glass baking dish and have been refrigerated, do not place directly into a hot oven as the glass can shatter. Instead, place any cold glass bakeware into a cold oven to warm up while it preheats. Or, allow the bakeware to rest outside of the fridge for 30 minutes to reach room temperature while the oven preheats.
Recipe Variations
- Use leftover chicken or sauté fresh chicken breasts in a small amount of olive oil and butter until thoroughly cooked.
- A rotisserie chicken or packaged fully cooked roasted chicken strips work in this casserole, too.
- Substitute diced leftover turkey for the chicken.
- Substitute cream of chicken for the cream of celery soup.
- Add sautéed onions to the stuffing mix.
