Notes
Substitutions:
Shredded chicken – Shredded chicken breast, shredded chicken thighs, or even a whole chicken that has been shredded will work well for this recipe. I often use a rotisserie chicken I have pulled apart.
Sour cream – You can use basic sour cream or light sour cream.
Cheddar cheese – You can use mild, medium or even Mexican blend in its place.
Bacon – Feel free to make fresh bacon on the stove top or in the oven. Bacon bites can be used too, just be sure to top the casserole with the bacon after baking to keep it nice and crispy.

When you are ready to eat them, bake them straight from the freezer for 35 minutes. Read full instructions in my post above. How to Reheat: This can be reheated in the microwave in 30 second increments.How to Scale: To scale up this recipe, simply double or triple the recipe and use a couple of baking dishes.
