A creamy sauce of cream, chicken broth, and fresh thyme is poured over everything, soaking into the layers so every bite is seasoned and smooth. Shredded cheddar finishes the dish, melting into a warm, golden crust that makes the casserole feel comforting and indulgent without being complicated.
While baking, the whole house smells incredible. When it comes out of the oven, the sauce is bubbling and the cheese lightly browned.
Let it rest a few minutes to set the layers for clean scoops. It’s filling enough to serve on its own but pairs beautifully with a simple salad or steamed veggies. After tasting it once, it’s clear why this casserole became a family favorite so quickly—a perfect blend of flavor, comfort, and effortless charm.
