Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ⅔ cup Hoosier Hill Alfredo Cheese Sauce Mix
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 ½ cups freshly shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 lbs cubed Yukon potatoes
- 1 ½ cups cooked chicken, cubed or shredded
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- ½ cup chopped crispy bacon (~8 slices)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready once your casserole is assembled.
- Make Alfredo Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the Alfredo sauce mix and heavy cream until smooth and heated through. Add one cup of Parmesan cheese and black pepper, stirring until the cheese melts completely. Remove the sauce from heat.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix the cubed Yukon potatoes, cooked chicken, broccoli florets, and chopped crispy bacon until evenly combined.
- Mix with Sauce: Pour the prepared Alfredo sauce over the potato and chicken mixture, stirring well to coat everything evenly.
- Assemble Casserole: Transfer the coated mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of Parmesan cheese over the top of the casserole.
- Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes to cook the potatoes and meld the flavors.
- Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking uncovered for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Rest and Serve: Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to set. For an extra crunchy top, optionally place under the broiler for 2–3 minutes before resting.
Notes
- Allow the casserole to rest before serving to enhance flavor and texture.
- For a golden, crispy top, broil the casserole for 2–3 minutes at the end of baking.
- You can prepare the Alfredo sauce ahead of time and reheat gently before mixing.
- Use fresh Parmesan cheese for the best melt and flavor.
- Ensure potatoes are cut evenly to cook uniformly.
