Loaded Baked Potato and Chicken Casserole

2 (24 oz) pkgs. Simply Potatoes mashed potatoes (found in the refrigerated section at the store)
4 oz. cream cheese , softened
3/4 t. pepper
3 1/2 c. Rotisserie chicken, shredded, divided
1 c. chopped green onion, divided (optional)
2 c. shredded cheddar cheese, divided
12 oz. pkg. broccoli florets, divided*
1 pkg. Oscar Meyer real bacon pieces, divided

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9x13 dish. Peel back film from potatoes to vent. Microwave each pkg 3 minutes on high. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, cream cheese, and pepper. Beat with mixer until well combined. Stir in 1 3/4 c. chicken, 1 c. cheese, 2/3 c. onion, half of broccoli, and half of bacon. Spread in prepared dish. Sprinkle with remaining chicken, broccoli, and bacon. Top with remaining cheese. Cover and bake 45 minutes or until cheese is melted and casserole is heated through. Top with remaining onion. Serve with a salad for a complete meal.

*I like to cook my broccoli a little before adding to the casserole. Otherwise it's still pretty raw when you eat it (even after it's been cooking for 45 minutes)
