Ingredients
- 6 cups prepared mashed potatoes (homemade or instant)
- 2 cups prepared brown gravy(homemade or from a packet)
- 24 ounces frozen fully cooked popcorn chicken
- 1 (15-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ¼ teaspoon garlic salt
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 cups freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the mashed potatoes according to your favorite homemade recipe or make instant mashed potatoes according to the package directions.
- Prepare the brown gravy according to your favorite homemade recipe or package directions.
- Cook the popcorn chicken according to the package directions until hot and crispy. I like using the air fryer for the crispiest results.
- In a small saucepan, combine the corn, butter, and garlic salt. Cook over medium heat until the butter is melted and the corn is heated through.
To Assemble the bowls:
- Start by adding the mashed potatoes to however many bowls you’re making.
- Top each bowl with crispy popcorn chicken, the seasoned corn, shredded cheddar cheese, and prepared brown gravy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. (Optional)
- Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- For the best homemade version, use my Creamy Mashed Potatoes and Homemade Brown Gravy recipes.
- Freshly shredded cheddar cheese melts much better than pre-shredded cheese.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave until warmed through.
