1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 2-quart baking dish (about 8 or 9-inch square) with cooking spray and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine cornbread, green bell pepper, onion, celery, and cheese.
3. Place half of the cornbread mixture in the prepared baking dish.
4. Spread chicken in an even layer over the cornbread mixture.
5. Whisk together soup and broth until completely combined. Pour soup mixture over the chicken. Spread remaining cornbread mixture over the chicken and
gently press down to form a top crust.

Recipe Notes
COOK'S TIPS AND RECIPE VARIATIONS:
list of 3 items
• I use about 3/4 of a prepared pan of
Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
for this recipe (which totals about 4 cups crumbled). For a shortcut, purchase a pan of cornbread or a batch of corn muffins from the bakery at your grocery
store.
• This casserole calls for cooked, diced chicken, but you can substitute with an equal amount of cooked ground beef, ground turkey, or ground chicken.
• I use Campbell's
Healthy Request Cream of Chicken Soup,
but you can substitute with Cream of Celery or Cream of Mushroom soup instead.

Absolutely! This is Cowboy Casserole recipe is the perfect make ahead dinner!
You assemble the casserole in advance (on the weekend, in the morning, during afternoon naps...whenever it suits your schedule) and either keep it in the
refrigerator for up to 24 hours until you're ready to bake it, or wrap it tightly and pop it in the freezer.
The Cowboy Casserole will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 2 months.
