Scale
Mashed Potato Casserole:
- 5–6 cups mashed potatoes, my homemade version is portioned for this recipe

- 1 cup cheddar cheese, freshly grated
Crispy Chicken:
- 8 Chicken Tenders, I prefer my homemade recipe but frozen may be used
- Brown Gravy, you can also use a packet
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. If using frozen chicken tenders, let them sit at room temp for about 5 minutes to soften.

- Top with corn and cheese.
- Carefully slice the chicken strips into pieces of desired size and top the casserole dish with them.
- Bake uncovered for 20 minutes if using frozen chicken tenders and 15 minutes for homemade.
- Prepare the gravy on the stove top while the casserole finishes baking.
- Drizzle desired amount of gravy over the casserole dish and serve!
