When I asked my mister what he might like for dinner tonight, he mentioned buffalo chicken, then casserole. Hmmmm, a buffalo chicken casserole? Yes, I think that could happen. And off started the cooking challenge for today!

This has since become a family favorite and consequently has received lots of positive reviews. If you are looking for something a lil different, give this a go, I think you’ll be pleased!!!

Further Food Commentary:

A little bit of this dish can go a long way to keep you full and satisfied. The potatoes are a great, nutrient dense food that is cheap and easy to prepare. Potatoes have been shown to lower blood pressure and are also a great source of fiber. Fiber in this recipe is important, since chicken and bacon are high in cholesterol. Eating fiber alongside high cholesterol foods helps your body not to absorb all of the harmful cholesterol in the meal. Consider adding a salad to this dish for even more help in preventing cholesterol absorption.

This dish may not be appropriate for those with heart conditions, diabetes or trying to lose weight. Bacon is high in saturated fat and cholesterol.
