I saw this on Instagram from @momontimeout. She has some amazing recipes. I found this Cheesy Chicken Broccoli and Rice Casserole recipe on her website, and decided that we needed something comforting.
I modified it a bit…but these are the ingredients I used:
2 cups of Rotisserie Chicken – chunked
2 cups broccoli – frozen
2 cups cooked rice
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheese
1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cups Ritz Crackers, crushed
1/4 cup of dried, chopped onions
2 teaspoons of unsalted butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×13 pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Mix all of the ingredients but the crackers, dried onion and butter. Spread into the 9×13 pan.
Sprinkle the crackers over the top, and drizzle the melted butter.
Bake at 30-35 minutes until cooked through.
Sprinkle with the cut parsley. Serve and enjoy.
David’s plate, and he had seconds and thirds.
My plate and I didn’t eat all of it, as it was warm, hearty and creamy. It is definitely more of a Fall or Winter meal.
Blessings.
Clean, and peal the potatoes.
I used a boxed shredder, and used the large grater side.
Spray the bottom of a casserole dish (9×13) with non-stick cooking spray, and then layered the potatoes on top.
The rest was either frozen or canned, but assembled and re-purposed into the casserole. The first being the roasted bell peppers, chopped to add color and a bit of a bite.
Jimmy Dean frozen turkey sausage. I had half of bag left in the freezer. So simple, pre-cooked. Done.
(8) Eight eggs, beaten with a cup of sour cream (no milk- do what you can with what you have – right?).
Mixed in ground mustard (a must for my breakfast dishes – adds a bite without a lot heat), parsley, salt and pepper. Blend together.
I added about 2 cups chopped frozen broccoli to casserole. With the red bell pepper it adds a nice color.
Pour the egg and sour cream mixture over the top of the hash-brown layers.
Top everything with shredded cheddar cheese (again, what I had in the freezer). 
Oven at 350 degrees, and bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Since everything was already cooked but the eggs, it really is a simple bake.
My corner piece…
It was bright, creamy, and super yummy! Carmen loved it – she didn’t have to make anything for breakfast- score. And, it made for great leftovers for the week as well since it was mainly David and I at home.
Breakfast Casseroles are a great way to use up to lots of little things left in the freezer or refrigerator. Carmen really liked it. I loved this. David really enjoyed it as he loves potatoes, and anything that I cook with them in it. What do you cook that you use up your leftovers or extras?
Sliced onions, with unsalted butter, parsley, bay leaves, thyme, salt and pepper.
Baguette sliced, and toasted in a 350 degree oven for 12 minutes.
Onions, cooked…to nothing…3 hours later…I am not sure I did this correctly…but the smells in the kitchen were amazing. 
Flour added, then Sherry, and beef broth.
First layer of casserole.
First layer with cheese added.
Second layer with cheese.
Baked, covered…then uncovered and broiled to brown. 
Doesn’t look ANYTHING like theirs, but the flavor was amazing. David loved it, as did Stephen. It will be a long while before I make this again, and it will be in Fall or Winter due to the time in the kitchen–but I will make it again.
