I never really embraced casseroles until I moved out on my own. Once I became a busy mom, simple has become a way of life that carries from the kitchen to travel and back again. Casseroles truly embody a simple dinner. Especially on the weeknights after a long day of working, schooling, play dates and taking care of the family a simple dinner is perfect.
This Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli Casserole starts with a homemade creamy chicken soup. It is prepped in just 15 minutes and is sure to be on your monthly meal plan again and again.
