3 Easy to Make Chicken Casserole Recipes

Shelly Hill

As a busy mother and grandmother, I am always looking for ways to prepare delicious meals for my family...for those busy nights when I don't have hours to spend in the kitchen. To solve that problem, I like to make casserole dishes and freeze them for future meals.

When I make these 3 recipes, I make all of them in one day. You can freeze them in your baking dishes, however I like to go to the dollar store and purchase disposable foil baking pans. I can usually get them 3 for $1.00. I let them completely cool and then properly wrap them for freezing. They will keep in your freezer for up to 6 months.
