Copycat KFC Mashed Potato Bowls

Every once in a while I will get the urge to make some kind of comfort food.  Who doesn't like comfort food?  I know that most of the time comfort food isn't considered healthy, and this dish is absolutely not the healthiest, but...if you are in need of that feel good food, than this is for you!  

Whenever we eat out somewhere I always think about how I can recreate things at home!  This KFC bowl is one of my favorite things to get whenever we eat there.  Like I said, I know it's not healthy and full of starch (as my mom would say) but hey...sometimes you just gotta eat something that will make you feel good! 

Now let's get to the dish!  This recipe is so easy to make and most likely you have all of the ingredients on hand!  Popcorn chicken might have been better for the chicken part, but I only had chicken nuggets.  Also, the only gravy I had was turkey gravy that I had bought around Thanksgiving but never used!  I definitely took advantage of "shelf cooking" tonight!  

What is "shelf cooking" you ask?  It's where you use what you already have on hand to create a meal instead of having to run out for milk.  Trust me...follow Jordan Page on Instagram and you will get some great advice!  Okay, on to the recipe....

Copycat KFC Mashed Potato Bowls

Frozen chicken nuggets (baked as directed)
2 cans of corn
2 cans of turkey gravy
Instant Mashed Potatoes (made as directed)

1) While my chicken nuggets were in the oven, I cooked my corn and gravy on the stove and threw my mashed potatoes in the microwave.  
2) When my nuggets were done, I assembled the bowls.  Mashed Potatoes, then corn, chicken nuggets, and topped with gravy!
3) That's literally it!  You could also add some shredded cheese on top...I didn't think about that until just now.  

Throwing together easy meals like this makes me feel like I have my life together.  Also, the more simple the dish, the happier my picky kids.  Don't be afraid to try a copycat recipe!  Chances are you will make something that puts the original dish to shame!
