Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole
Casseroles are wonderful meals to prepare when you are in a hurry or know you will be out all day. Most casseroles can be made ahead of time, refrigerated, and then thrown in the oven. Also, with all the improvements on healthier options, you can cut the fat with low fat cheeses, soups, sour creams, etc. Casseroles are also wonderful for taking to friends’ when there has been a surgery, death, birth, or even a potluck meal.
