-
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
-
4 ounces sour cream
-
4 ounces mayonnaise
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of Monterey Jack and mozzarella)
-
¼ cup + 2 tablespoons bacon crumbles (freshly cooked or pre-packaged)

Directions
Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees F to ensure it's hot and ready for the casserole.
Create the creamy base: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayo, and all spices until smooth.
Combine the ingredients: Add the cooked chicken, steamed broccoli, three-quarters of the cheese, and a quarter of the bacon crumbles to the cream mixture. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
Prepare the baking dish: Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Transfer the casserole mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly.
Add toppings: Sprinkle the remaining cheese and bacon crumbles over the top of the casserole to create a flavorful and cheesy crust.
Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 35 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Serve: Let the casserole cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
