Ingredients
-
8 slices white bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, divided
-
3 cups cooked, cubed chicken breast meat
-
½ cup mayonnaise
-
½ cup chopped bell pepper (any color)
-
½ cup chopped celery
-
½ cup chopped onion
-
1 cup frozen peas
-
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
-
1 ½ cups milk
-
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
-
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
-
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Directions
-
Spread half of the bread cubes into the bottom of a greased 13x9-inch casserole dish.
-
Stir chicken, mayonnaise, bell pepper, celery, onion, and peas together in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Spread chicken mixture on top of bread cubes. Top with remaining bread cubes.
-
Whisk milk and eggs together, and pour over casserole. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
-
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Remove casserole from the refrigerator, uncover, and spread condensed soup evenly over the top.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
-
Sprinkle cheese over top, and continue baking until golden brown and heated through, 20 to 25 minutes more.
Cook's Note:
Turkey works well as a substitute for chicken, and cream of celery soup is a good sub for the cream of mushroom soup. I typically make this in two smaller casserole dishes, cook one, and the other goes into the freezer without the soup and cheese.
