1 (16 oz.) package frozen mixed vegetables
2 1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 (10 oz.) can condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
3/4 cup milk
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional)
1 1/2 cups biscuit/baking mix (Bisquick)
2/3 cup milk
1 (2.8 oz.) can French-fried onions

In a large bowl, combine vegetables, chicken, soup, milk, 1 cup cheese and bacon (if desired). Pour into an ungreased 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Cover and bake at 400°F for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in another bowl, combine biscuit mix and milk. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls onto chicken mixture. Bake, uncovered, for 20 to 22 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown. Top with onions and remaining cheese. Bake 3 to 4 minutes longer or until the cheese is melted.
