So I feel like the end of November/December are pretty much the best months ever.

Why?

Well, the weather starts to cool down (meaning 60s for us Los Angelenos) and the chunky sweaters and Ugg boots start to come out.

That means all the cozy, comforting casseroles also make an appearance at this time, hence, making these the best months of the year, especially when a French onion casserole is involved.

Yes, we just totally casseroled French onion soup!

Now don’t be intimidated by the cook time here. The only hard work per se is caramelizing the onions, which takes 15-20 minutes. After that, you’re using rotisserie chicken (hello, easiest shortcut ever) and other ingredients you typically have on hand for the most heavenly cream sauce of your life.

The best part is that you get to top this bad boy off with crushed Kettle Brand Salt and Fresh Ground Pepper Potato Chips.

And let me tell you. Yes, the cream sauce is gold and all but the chips make this casserole what it is. It’s perfectly salty and crunchy, making it the perfect complement to this cream sauce nirvana, and you’ll want chips in every single bite, desperately chasing it around with your fork as best as you can.
