Potatoes and Vegetables
- 3 pounds red potatoes cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium broccoli crown about 2-3 cups bite-size florets
Dairy and Seasoning
- 4 tablespoons butter room temperature
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½-1 teaspoon kosher salt

- 3 cups cooked chopped chicken

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 10-inch square baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and then transfer them back to the hot pot.
- While the potatoes are boiling, steam or roast the broccoli until hot and barely softened. It should still be a little bit crisp. Drain any liquid from the broccoli. Cook the bacon, chop or crumble and set aside.
- Place the pot with the potatoes back over the warm burner. Smash the potatoes with a potato masher. Add the butter, sour cream, salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika. Stir to combine.
- Add the cooked broccoli, the chicken, the bacon, and 1 cup of cheese to the pot. Stir to mix throughout and then transfer to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the casserole is heated through. Enjoy!
Notes
