You don’t need to wait until Thanksgiving to get the delicious flavors of stuffing on your table. The recipe below combines stuffing mix with creamy condensed soup, chicken and a few special seasonings to get you in the fall spirit in no time.

The best casseroles always have a crispy top, and this casserole doesn’t disappoint. It capitalizes on everyone’s favorite part of another Thanksgiving staple: green bean casserole. When you combine fried onions with the mixture of butter and stuffing, they add tons of texture to the finished casserole.
