If you follow my blog, then you know that casseroles are a big thing. When you are making dinner for a large family table, every single night, it can make you crazy trying to figure out what to make. I want to share the ingredients for this casserole because it might be just the meal you decide to make for your family tonight.
- Skinless chicken breast – Let’s talk for a minute about chicken. Buy it when it’s on sale and then all you need to do is pull the chicken out of the freezer and cook it.

- Cajun seasoning blend – This recipe calls for other seasonings, but this is my favorite one used in this dish.
- Sliced green onions – You can’t have a Cajun dish without having proper fresh ingredients. These sliced green onions will do the trick!
Of course, this isn’t the exhaustive ingredients list, but it does give you a start of how to make this casserole.
How to Freeze a Casserole
After you have made this Cajun Chicken and Sausage Casserole, you may be wondering how you can freeze it. I’m going to show you how to freeze a casserole.
- If you’ve like to make casserole freezing easy, then line the pan with aluminum foil, so that you can easily take it out of the pan.
- Once you’ve gotten the casserole out of the pan, you can put it in a freezer-friendly container.
- Once you freeze it, you can keep it in there for around 6 months.
- Make sure you double wrap the casserole, so it stays fresh!
I hope this helps you figure out how to make a casserole and freeze it. Casseroles are great for when you want to save yourself from time later. With a big family, you’ll be glad you put one of these in the freezer for later. What’s your favorite part of this casserole?
