Ingredients

Scale

Mashed Potatoes

  • 6 servings instant mashed potatoes (prepared) or homemade mashed potatoes

Protein

  • 1 (24 oz) package popcorn chicken (cooked)

Vegetables

  • 1 (15 oz) can corn (drained and heated)

Gravy

  • 1 package beef gravy mix (prepared)

Toppings

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare Mashed Potatoes: Make six servings of instant mashed potatoes according to package instructions, or prepare your own homemade mashed potatoes until creamy and smooth.
  2. Cook Popcorn Chicken: Cook the popcorn chicken according to the package instructions, ensuring it is crispy and heated through.
  3. Heat Corn: Drain the canned corn and heat it either in the microwave or on the stovetop until warm.
  4. Make Gravy: Prepare the brown beef gravy using the gravy packet instructions until hot and smooth.
  5. Assemble Bowls: In each serving bowl, layer the mashed potatoes first, then the heated corn, followed by the cooked popcorn chicken. Pour hot brown gravy over the top, and finish by sprinkling with shredded cheddar cheese to melt slightly before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute the popcorn chicken with grilled or fried chicken bites if preferred.
  • Homemade mashed potatoes provide a richer flavor but using instant mashed potatoes saves time.
  • To save time, leftovers of each component can be prepped in advance and assembled when ready to serve.
  • For a spicier twist, add a drizzle of hot sauce on top before serving.
  • If dairy-free, substitute cheddar cheese with a vegan alternative or omit it altogether.
