No Bake Nutella Balls (chocolate truffles)

Here’s a new favourite truffle I added to our Christmas cookie boxes this year. I’ll share with you how to make No Bake Nutella Balls covered in chocolate with a few sprinkles to make them look festive. These were so delicious. I had a hard time not eating all of them myself. You can crush the graham crackers yourself, but I just purchased a box of crumbs.

Cheesy Chicken Casserole

This recipe tasted a lot like a tuna casserole to me! 

The original recipe called for frozen hash browns but I just grated some fresh potatoes and squeezed them out a little. I used the small side of the grater for the onions and drained some of the liquid in a sieve. Blending the onions is another option if you feel like cleaning an appliance just for that.

Cheesy Chicken Casserole
Adapted from Tasty Kitchen
Makes 6 servings

Ingredients
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup half & half
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 3 medium potatoes, grated (about 3 cups)
  • 1 medium onion, grated
  • 2 1/2 cups cooked chicken breast, cubed
  • 2 oz cream cheese, cut into small cubes
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar (I used marble)
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and grease a baking dish. I used a disposable because I didn't feel like doing dishes. A glass dish would be better.
  2. In a large bowl, combine everything except 1/2 cup of the cheddar.
  3. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and sprinkle on the rest of the cheese. Cover it with foil. If your foil will be touching your casserole, spray it with cooking spray first so it doesn't stick. Bake it for about 1 hour then uncover the dish.
  4. Bake for another 15 minutes or so until the cheese starts to turn golden and potatoes are cooked through. You can taste it to check on the potatoes if you need to.
