Buffalo Chicken Casserole – All The Flavor, None of the Fuss!
My husband loves Buffalo Chicken Dip and these Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sliders, so I knew when I saw this recipe for Buffalo Chicken Casserole we had to try it.  I had everything in the pantry and the freezer (all the ingredients are things we usually have a bit of a stockpile on), so while it was raining outside yesterday I skipped the store and just shopped my pantry. (Don't you love it when that happens?) I tweaked it a bit with what we had on hand, but this recipe is one of those easy recipe that can handle a little tweaking!
🍴 TIP: You can also find this recipe in Week 12 of our Summer Menu Planning Made Easy Set!
It took about ten minutes to throw together, and everyone loved it. My husband ranked it as good-enough-to-make-again (always how I know if our meals are any good or not. . .), my kids all ate it (shock!), and it wasn't even as spicy as I feared. (It does have a little bit of a kick to it, but even my very picky nine-year-old could handle it, so it wasn't too spicy!) So, if you're looking for something different to do with some cheap chicken this week, this one's a great recipe to add to your menu plan!

Just made this last night – it was yummy! It was a bit salty, and I’m not sure how to cut the salt since I didn’t add any. The buffalo sauce is very salty but you don’t want to use less because the whole point is to have buffalo chicken flavor! 🙂 I did add extra cheese (because it needed to be used up) so maybe that would help next time. Definitely will make again!
So glad you enjoyed it Kelly ~ thanks a bunch for your feedback! 🙂
How many people does this recipe serve? I am trying to adapt to serve for a soup kitchen with about 90 people.
enjoyed this recipe!
So glad you enjoyed it Shelly – thanks for letting me know!
Yes! Finally something about mytouch 4g slide accessories.
This looks so good! I have a similar recipe made with pasta, but I think it will be even better with potatoes! Thank you!
This looks delicious and I really want to make this but I’m diabetic; wondering if I could replace the potatoes with cauliflower for a low-carb alternative? (If so, frozen or fresh?) Or is there another veg you might suggest instead of potatoes?
I think you could try it at least? I’m not positive if it will work or not, but I’ve heard of people substituting cauliflower before, and possibly using frozen cauliflower would work great. Let me know if it works for you!
I'm a new wife and still trying to find the "chef within." I've tried so many different recipes and this one was a perfect 10! Although it looked nothing like the picture it still was amazing. My husband said we definitely have to "add it to the rotation." I'm so happy I've found this! Gonna have to shop your site some more for new ones!!
I definitely love easy recipes, so if you’re a new cook hopefully they’ll make your life easier. So glad you found PPP, and thanks for letting me know you all enjoyed it!
This was the best casserole ever!!!
I am going to try it with cream of celery soup instead of the chicken soup.
do you add the milk to the soup or just the can of soup by itself?
Just the soup by itself ~ hope that helps D! 🙂
Thank you for this recipe! We love buffalo chicken dip, so I knew we had to try it. I used the shredded hash browns and frozen chicken tenderloins (didn’t even thaw) and used what we had in the pantry which was cream of mushroom and Italian bread crumbs. I used 1/2 ranch and 1/2 blue cheese dressings and doubled the cheddar. YUMMMMMMMM-O!!!!! Thank you!
Yay ~ so glad you liked it! 🙂
This is a very forgiving recipe. I used cream of mushroom for the can of soup, pepper jack cheese (lots – we love it spicy and cheesy) and cheese flavored onion French’s onions. I also split between two smaller casserole pans (didn’t feel like dragging out the big one).
It’s the perfect amount of hot sauce – my husband thought it was very good. And we discussed it would be a great dish for a potluck. Makes a large amount, too.
Love the idea of the frozen hash browns – worked perfect! Thanks so much!
So glad you enjoyed it Dee – thanks for letting me know (love the idea of cream of pepper jack cheese… this one can definitely be used with whatever you have on hand!)
Made this recipe for lunch with a couple little tweaks because I didn’t have some things. I used boneless skinless chicken thighs, also didn’t have any ranch do I substituted 2 tbsp mayo mixed with seasoning. Turned out great its all gone. Oh yeah I used ore-dai square hash browns with peppers and onions. Thanks so much for another great recipe.
This recipe can definitely be easily switched out a bit, so I love that you figured out ways to use what you have on hand. So glad you enjoyed it Alycia ~ thanks so much for letting us know!
