1 (16 ounce) pkg. frozen mixed vegetables
2 1/2 cups fo cubed cooked chicken
1 (10.75) can of condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
3/4 cup milk
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddare cheese, divided
8 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled (optional but a must in our home)

BISCUITS:
1 1/2 cups biscuit/baking mix
2/3 cup milk
1 (2.8 ounce) can French-fried onions

DIRECTIONS:

• In a large bowl, combine the begetables, chicken, soup, milk, 1 cup cheese and bacon. Pour this into an ungreased 13x9x2 inch baking dish.
• Cover and bake at 400 degrees for 15 min.
• While you are waiting combine the biscuit mix and milk. Drop the batter by tablespoonfuls onto the chicken mixture. TIP: It's better to have a lot of biscuits than too few. The fewer you have the longer it will take to get the center of the biscuits to bake.
• Bake, uncovered, for 20-22 min. or until the bicuits are golden brown. Top with the onions and the rest of the cheese, or more. Bake 3-4 min. longer or unti the cheese is melted.
