The best Chicken and Bacon Casserole recipe ever ! Loaded with not only Mushrooms but Spinach as well AND topped with gooey Cheese.

Post and Images updated February 2020 – original published date: December 2012

I have been making this Chicken and Bacon Casserole for many years and it is always a huge hit with my family.

The addition of mushrooms as well as spinach does not only make the dish more nutritious, but looks so good too !

I normally only serve the Chicken Casserole over pasta, no other side dishes. And the recipe yields enough servings for more than 6 adults.

You can serve the Casserole over rice or even mashed potatoes as well.

Beware… this is one of those dishes which you can not stop eating until it is all gone !

Just look at that ! Hearty, filling and ever so delicious ! Loaded with Mushrooms, Spinach and gooey Cheese, this is one dinner recipe you have to add to your menu.

The Chicken and Bacon Casserole is very creamy, or I should rather say saucy and each and every ingredient is hugged in the sauce.

And there is more than enough sauce to scoop this scrumptious Chicken dish over pasta, rice or other starches, leaving a plate full of deliciousness.
