Chicken Cordon Blue Stuffing Bake (Freezer Meal)

This yummy casserole is from The Sister's Cafe. My family loved it.

Chicken Cordon Blue Stuffing Bake (Freezer Meal)

2 packages reduced sodium chicken stuffing mix
1 can cream of chicken
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3/4 lb. sliced deli ham, cut into 1 inch strips
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
2 - 3 cups cooked and cubed chicken

Prepare stuffing according to package directions. Meanwhile in a bowl combine soup and milk. Put chicken into a greased 9x13 baking dish (a deep one like for lasagnas would probably work best - I used a regular 9x13 pyrex and has some spillage). Sprinkle with pepper. Layer over the the chicken: ham strips, Swiss cheese, 1 cup of Cheddar cheese, soup/milk mixture, and the stuffing. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup of Cheddar. (*At this point you can freeze this casserole.) Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10-15 minutes.

Freezer Meal Assembly:
Layer the casserole as instructed above into a foil 9x13 deep dish pan. Cover with plastic wrap then foil and label with cooking instructions. Freeze.

Cooking Instructions:
Thaw in fridge for at least 24 hours. Remove from fridge 30 minutes before baking. Remove plastic wrap and foil, recover with foil and bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake 10-15 minutes.
