Aunt Betty's Chicken and Dressing Casserole

Are you craving that taste of dressing? Fix this quick weeknight casserole for your family. Prepare it the night before, then all you have to do while Dad is bathing the kids is bake the casserole and prepare a salad or vegetable. The Louis Rich oven roasted chicken works great if you don't have time to stew your chicken.
