The first dish that I made in it was this over the top oreo dessert. I knew that it needed to be put to good use immediately. My worst days are any that have confrontation involved.Ī few weeks ago my brother-in-law sent me the casserole dish pictured.

He tells me “you’re the opposite of a Karen.” And if a Karen is someone who likes conflict then he’s exactly right. Greg always tries to make me feel better. I just need to make sure they aren’t overcharging me on my bill.Īnd then the times that I’ve been in to see the dentist or doctor this year and the assistant comes to the waiting room and says loud for everyone to hear, “Karen?” I duck my head in embarrassment or try to put on a nice easy going smile so people won’t think I’m a Karen. I mean what if I actually do have a problem with DIRECTV and need to ask to speak to the customer service rep’s supervisor? What do I do? Do I say my name is Cindy or Jen? I don’t want to be a Karen. Most of the time I think it’s quite funny. It’s not a compliment to be called a Karen.Ī few people have asked me how I feel about this Karen phenomenon since my actual name is Karen. A Karen isn’t easy going or fun to be around.

According to the internet a Karen is “a pejorative term for women seeming to be entitled or demanding beyond the scope of what is normal.” A Karen often has a short hair cut and demands to speak to the manager. Perhaps you’ve noticed, especially in the past year, that the name Karen has been thrown around in all sorts of memes on the internet. I feel like I need to address the pink elephant in the room today. Pin this recipe for later! I’m a Karen Casserole Nobody will ask to speak to the manger after this dinner.

Now I know that casseroles aren’t fancy but this casserole has many possibilities.Īdd some thawed or fresh broccoli florets or peas (or any veggie) to the mix and you’ve got a complete meal in one dish.Instant Pot I’m a Karen Casserole- chicken, rice, ham cubes, broccoli, cheese and a Ritz cracker crumb topping make up this kick butt casserole. You can skip this because many folks don’t have poppy seeds on hand. Cover and bake for 30 minutes, until crumbs are golden brown and casserole is hot and the sauce is bubbly (or freeze for baking at another time). Though ritz crackers are the perfect crispy, crunchy topping for this dish, you can also use other kinds of crackers-feel free to experiment with what you have on hand in your pantry, but always be sure to mix the crackers with 1/4-1/2 cup butter to keep them moist. Sprinkle the top with the poppy seeds. I find that I like mushroom more because during baking it runs off a bit as the juices come out of the chicken. Next layer on the ritz crackers. Spray your baking dish with cooking spray then lay the cubed chicken breast down flat on the bottom of the dish. Pour soup mixture (chicken or mushroom) over cubed chicken breasts. First preheat your oven, then grab a baking dish.
