KFC Famous Bowl Casserole

Ingredients:

1.5 lbs of Frozen Popcorn Chicken, semi-cooked and diced into quarter-sized pieces
2 packages (1 lb each) of Ready-Made Mashed Potatoes (Preferably Simply or Bob Evans)
4 cups of Corn, either frozen or canned (Ensure it’s well-drained)
2 cups of Finely Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 jar (18 oz) of Rich Brown Chicken Gravy

Instructions:

Begin by preheating your oven to a moderately hot 400°F.

Meanwhile, introduce your popcorn chicken to the air fryer. Run it at the same 400°F for a quick 4-5 minutes. The goal here is not to thoroughly cook the chicken, but rather to bring it to a stage where it can be effortlessly chopped into quarter-sized pieces.

Next, it’s time to warm up your mashed potatoes. A quick spin in the microwave for about 2 minutes should suffice. You’ll want them warm enough that they can be smoothly spread.

Now, turn your attention to a 9×13 baking dish. Coax your warmed mashed potatoes into the dish, spreading them across the base to form the first layer of this comforting casserole.

Following this, blanket the potatoes with your corn, ensuring an even spread.

Now arrange your popcorn chicken pieces over the corn layer.

It’s time for the oven. Bake the assembled casserole, uncovered, for around 15 minutes.

Once the timer dings, sprinkle your finely shredded cheese generously across the top. Let it return to the oven’s embrace for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese forms a deliciously gooey, melted layer.

While your casserole is basking in the oven’s warmth, heat up your brown chicken gravy in the microwave.

With your casserole ready and the cheese melted, pour the hot gravy uniformly over the top.

Serve this warm delight right away and relish every bite!
