Chicken Potato Casserole with Bacon Bits
One of my favorite things to do in the cold winter months is to come up with amazing comfort food with fresh ingredients. We love scalloped potatoes or even Au Gratin Potatoes but I wanted a full meal. You know, something hearty. The hardest part about making scalloped potatoes is the homemade cream sauce. I just found a way to use the new Swanson Cream Starter in my casserole! No guessing and it comes out perfect! Perfect every time! I will never ever use a boxed Scallop Potato or Au Gratin mix ever again. This recipe has turned into a family favorite.
Tip: We used the thick cut bacon. We heated three strips in the microwave for about 3 minutes to get it nice and crispy.
There’s absolutely no reason to add milk or other seasonings to thick recipe because the Swanson Starter Traditional makes the perfect cream sauce blend!
