📝Ingredients (Serves 6–8)

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie works)

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup sharp cheddar, finely shredded

½ cup mayonnaise

½ cup sour cream

6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

4 green onions, sliced

½ cup slivered almonds, finely chopped

1 tsp hot sauce (or to taste)

Salt & pepper

1 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed

½ cup cheddar, shredded

4 tbsp butter, melted

🔪 Step-by-Step: Casserole in 4 Cranks

1. Shred & Crush Like a Pro

Lock your hand crank cheese grater with suction base.

Fine shred blade: Feed in cheddar blocks → crank for fluffy shreds.

Crushing blade: Add almonds → crank for crunchy confetti.

Set aside—these are your flavor stars.

2. Mix the Magic Base

In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayo, sour cream, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Fold in shredded cheddar, shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, sliced green onions, and half the chopped almonds. The uniform shreds ensure even melt and bite.

3. Assemble the Layers

Spread the base into a greased 9x13 baking dish. Mix crushed Ritz crackers with remaining shredded cheddar and chopped almonds. Drizzle with melted butter for that golden crunch.

4. Bake & Serve

Bake until bubbly and topping is golden. Let rest slightly—serve hot with extra crackers or as a dip-turned-main. One bite, and it’s game over.

💡Tips & Twists

Spicy Upgrade – Double hot sauce or add Geedel-shredded jalapeños.

Veggie Boost – Fold in Geedel-sliced bell peppers for color.

Lighter Twist – Swap half the mayo for Greek yogurt.

Make-Ahead – Assemble base and topping separately; bake fresh.
