Lazy Dayzy Buffalo Casserole 🐃
Most of my casseroles have a starch for a base whether it’s pasta, potato, or rice, but my lazy dayzy casseroles have a base of vegetables. This Lazy Dayzy Buffalo Casserole is my kids favorite! We each have our favorite one and my original Lazy Dayzy Casserole is my favorite! All of my lazy dayzy casseroles are loaded with protein, nutrients, and some fats, to make them not only delicious but unintentionally low carb. I am not a creator who makes low carb recipes often, but when I do you better believe they are just as good as any of my others. This recipe can be tailored to the spice level your family enjoys. Frank’s Redhot is our sauce of choice in this recipe and you’ll notice in the ingredients that I have options to make this spicy, medium, or mild. Not only are you going to love this recipe, but it takes about 5 minutes to prep and only 25 minutes in the oven. Are you convinced yet? Let’s make it!
I absolutely love this Vietri Bakers Blue Small Rectangular Serving/Baking Dish! This dish is durable, provides even heat distribution, and it is perfect for your deep dish casserole baking dish needs. I also love that it is dishwasher, microwave, freezer, and oven safe!

Lazy Dayzy Buffalo Casserole
Ingredients
- 12 oz microwavable bag of fresh broccoli florets
- 10 oz microwavable bag of fresh cauliflower florets
- 1 rotisserie chicken shredded
- ¼ cup green onions sliced & divided
- 1 cup ranch or blue cheese I used ranch
- 4 oz whipped chive cream cheese about half of a 7.5 oz container
- ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp frank's redhot sauce divided (For spicy use ½ cup of franks, for medium spice use a ⅓ cup of franks, and for mild spice use a ¼ cup of franks)
- 8 oz shredded double cheddar cheese blend
Instructions
- Take the bag of microwavable fresh broccoli florets and cauliflower florets, pierce the bags with a fork, and microwave them for only half the time it says to microwave it on the package (I microwaved mine for 2.5 minutes). Once the broccoli and cauliflower are done and crisp, take kitchen shears, and cut the broccoli and cauliflower up into smaller pieces (as small as you would like them to be).
- Grease a baking dish and add the broccoli and cauliflower pieces to the bottom of the baking dish. Next, add the shredded rotisserie chicken in an even layer over the broccoli and cauliflower. Then, sprinkle about ⅛ cup of sliced green onions evenly over the chicken layer.
- In a measuring cup or bowl, add ranch, whipped chive cream cheese, and ⅓ cup frank’s redhot sauce (for spicy use ½ cup of franks, for medium spice use a ⅓ cup of franks, and for mild spice use a ¼ cup of franks). Whisk that together until fully combined and smooth. Add that creamy buffalo mixture to the baking dish and smooth it out so it’s an even layer over the chicken, broccoli, cauliflower, and green onions.
- Then, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Lastly, sprinkle over ⅛ cup of sliced green onions and drizzle about a tbsp of frank’s redhot sauce over the top. Bake the casserole in the oven at 375°F for 25 – 30 minutes. Enjoy!
