I got this recipe from a friend years ago. I freeze several half recipes in disposable pans to share with neighbors or for when I'm pressed for time myself. —Rea Newell, Decatur, Illinois

This is a great make-ahead meal. Delicious! Would be great on its own for a busy weeknight. If you have a little more time, try this. I added a side of mashed potatoes, (from the freezer) corn and dinner rolls. A weeknight feast with very little effort.

This is a very good casserole and my son loves chicken cordon bleu, so this is one of his favorite casseroles.

I'm so glad I saw this recipe on FB! I'm looking forward to the leftovers!!! I used the last of my Thanksgiving stuffing that I had in the freezer. The recipe is easy to assemble and bake. I served it with cranberry sauce and steamed broccoli! Will make this again, for sure.

Everyone seemed to like this very much. I wasn't as impressed. The taste of the stuffing overwhelmed everything. If you like stuffing, you'll like this recipe.
