This Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole is our quick & easy dinner recipe with chopped chicken, ham, and a creamy Swiss Dijon sauce. It is an easy dinner recipe!

Ok listen, college Carrian was a different Carrian. I was just trying to survive all the things and have a dang good time. Money? Not really. Time? None. Skill? I mean, I could make a few things…

Law and Order SVU? Yes.

My second year of college a roommate introduced me to Law and Order SVU. About once a week we’d watch an episode while we ate either a freezer chicken cordon bleu or a New York Burrito from the other side of town. Those frozen chicken cordon blue’s were fancy and I would savor every bite.

I no longer can stomach the show, once you have kids all of that content is a bit much for the soul. And I can’t really get behind that frozen log of chicken, so I needed a new recipe to bring back the nostalgia and this casserole is exactly that.

What is Chicken Cordon Bleu?

Chicken cordon bleu is a French dish where chicken is wrapped around ham and cheese, breaded and pan fried or deep fried. This casserole recipe uses all the classic chicken cordon bleu flavors without the tedious task of creating and frying the rolled chicken. It’s sort of a deconstructed, simpler version of chicken cordon bleu, if you will.

The Best Cheesy Funeral Potato Casserole [+Video]

Funeral potato casserole is a creamy, cheesy comfort food packed with rich, savory flavors. Made with tender hash browns, melted cheese, sour cream, and a crunchy golden topping, it’s the perfect balance of smooth and crispy.

Perfect for Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving or just a cozy Sunday dinner with the fam!

I grew up not knowing about “funeral potatoes,” but moving to Utah introduced me to this classic dish. It’s essentially a cheesy potato casserole or a hash brown casserole, and the funny name comes from its tradition as a side dish often served at funeral luncheons.

This comforting, popular dish is perfect for feeding a crowd, making it ideal for family gatherings, holiday dinners, or even as a main dish when paired with ham. While I’ve never actually had it at a funeral, I’ve enjoyed it countless times during the holidays, and it’s always a hit!

Why Do They Call It Funeral Potatoes?

You might wonder why these cheesy delights are called “funeral potatoes,” and let me tell you, it’s not as gloomy as it sounds! Everyone—seriously, everyone—has their own special recipe for this potluck superstar. While they’re known by different names all over the place, the tradition of serving them at funeral luncheons in Utah is what sticks. I was a bit skeptical at first, thinking, “How good can cheesy potatoes really be?” But after one bite, I was a total convert! The creamy, cheesy goodness combined with that crunchy topping is pure magic. Whether it’s a holiday dinner or a family gathering, these potatoes are always a hit and bring a comforting vibe to the table. So, let’s celebrate this quirky name and dig in!

Variations

Swap the Soup
For a deeper, earthier flavor, substitute cream of mushroom soup for the cream of chicken soup. It adds a subtle richness that pairs perfectly with the cheesy potatoes.

Change Up the Topping
Instead of the classic cornflake topping, sprinkle one of these delicious alternatives on top for a different texture and flavor:

  • Ritz Crackers: Crushed Ritz Crackers add a buttery, golden crunch.
  • Potato Chips: Crushed potato chips create a salty, crispy topping that complements the creamy casserole.
  • Bread Crumbs: Use plain or seasoned bread crumbs for a lightly crisp topping.
  • Extra Cheese: Skip the crunch and sprinkle sharp cheddar cheese over the casserole for an extra layer of gooey, cheesy goodness.

Take your taste buds on a comforting journey with this delicious cheesy ham and potato broccoli casserole. It is creamy, cheesy, hearty and a totally comforting meal. Perfect for a family dinner or potluck!

My mom’s classic recipe that I hated for nearly my entire life, yes, even as an adult. I don’t know what has happened but in the last few years I’ve had such a craving for the classic recipes that I grew up on. Call it nostalgia, or maybe I’m just finally growing up and realizing what a gift it was that my mom made dinner literally every night and we always ate around a dinner table together.

This recipe is from her dear friend, Debbie, and I don’t remember a single year of my life that Mom didn’t make it, so it’s been around for a long time.

Ingredients for Ham Potato Broccoli Casserole

Grab your leftover ham and a few other ingredients, and let’s make this comforting casserole for dinner! Here is everything you’ll need:

  • New Potatoes: a little sweeter and less starchy than regular russet or yukon gold potatoes, we love the flavor and texture!
  • Broccoli: fresh or frozen broccoli florets work great
  • Butter: used to salute and onions and mushrooms
  • Onion: just a regular yellow onion
  • Baby Bella Mushrooms: can be substituted with white button mushrooms or omitted if desired
  • Salt and Pepper: adds flavor
  • Ham: adds flavor and protein
  • Cream Cheese: adds richness and creaminess
  • Cheddar Cheese: adds flavor and gooiness

The measurements for each ingredient can be found in the recipe card down at the end of the post.

Substitutions and Variations

I love to use leftover ham in this recipe, but any protein tastes great in this casserole. You could use rotisserie chicken, ground beef, bacon, sausage, etc.

Growing up, Mom usually skipped the mushrooms or only put them on half of the casserole in order to please her picky kids, but they are in fact her favorite part. Sautéed with onions in gobs of delicious butter, I mean, what isn’t to love?

You can also change up the vegetables in this casserole. Peas or green beans would be super yummy!

How to Make Ham Potato and Broccoli Casserole

  1. Prep: Butter or spray a 9×13 baking dish and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Parboil: Partially boil the potatoes for 8-10 minutes then drain and set aside. See section below for skipping this step.
  3. Steam: Place the broccoli in a saucepan and steam until bright green.

Cheesy Jiffy Corn Casserole [+Video]

Corn casserole is a comfort food side dish that never gets old. It goes great with chili, soup, grilled chicken or fajitas. It’s totally versatile, cheesy, packed with corn and SOOOOO easy!

When I was in jr high our church had a chili cook off and a woman brought two different kinds of cornbread. Both were the best I’d ever had but upon asking her to share the recipes (clearly I was born to be a food blogger), she declined. She said she didn’t give out her recipes! Rude! Ok, maybe not rude but it really was an awkward moment for me. I felt almost shame for having asked her.

Can we just pause for a moment and talk about not sharing recipes? Why is that a thing? Maybe I have blinders on because I share recipes for a living, but why wouldn’t you share a recipe? Boggles my mind.

Ok, I digress…back to cornbread casserole

Many years ago, and you may be surprised to hear this, but I did summer sales for an alarm company. A woman fed me some of her cornbread and then OFFERED me the recipe! That’s the way it should be! Jiffy cornbread casserole is a treasured recipe in our house and chances are, your mom probably made it growing up too!

Whether you are sitting down to a bowl of our award winning instant pot chili or a serving of our classic BBQ grilled chicken, this cornbread casserole is the perfect side dish! I just know you’re going to love it!

Ingredients for Corn Casserole Recipe

Corn casserole is similar to cornbread, but it’s a little more dense and includes cheese! Here is everything you will need:

  • Butter: adds richness and flavor
  • Corn: adds texture and real corn flavor, use fresh corn cut off the cob, frozen corn (thaw first), or canned corn (drained)
  • Creamed Corn: Grab a 14.75oz can from the vegetable aisle.
  • Garlic Powder: adds flavor
  • Eggs: gives the casserole its structure
  • Sour Cream: adds moisture and rich flavor
  • Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix: you can find it by the other muffin and cake mixes
  • Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese: We are loyal to Tillamook!
