Creamy Potato Casserole With Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup
There are some recipes that feel like a warm blanket on a chilly evening, and this creamy potato casserole is definitely one of them.
Thinly sliced russet potatoes are layered into a casserole dish and covered with a rich, creamy mixture made with condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, butter, onion, and plenty of sharp cheddar cheese. As the potatoes bake, they become wonderfully tender while the sauce turns velvety and flavorful.
Then comes the best part.
The casserole is uncovered and finished with another layer of bubbling cheddar and optional breadcrumbs, creating that golden, slightly crisp topping that makes everyone want to sneak in for one more spoonful.
Whether you're making a cozy weeknight dinner, planning a holiday side dish, or bringing something comforting to a family gathering, this is the kind of potato recipe that disappears quickly.
