Buffalo Chicken Casserole

Casseroles are one of those things…they take a bit more prep work but da*n it’s nice if they’re delish because you can eat of them for a few days! This one did not disappoint! I will say if you don’t like spicy you may want to skip this one because the Buffalo sauce gives it a bit of bite! We really enjoyed it and you could also use it for meal prep as it makes 6 nice sized servings!
