This mouthwatering casserole makes an excellent potluck dish. It's creamy and just bursting with flavor. A golden topping made of cornflakes and almonds offers 'crunch' appeal!—Michelle Krzmarzick, Redondo Beach, California

I thought this was excellent. It might also be good with adding about 1 tbsp. dry ranch dressing mix.

This casserole is different....no pasta as a filler. I added an extra can of mushrooms and some extra celery which I pre-cooked to crisp tender. My husband and I both love it.

Our rule in our home is never complain until you try it and make sure you criticize politely. I'll try to follow my own rules by saying, It was okay, but it's definitely not my favorite, nor will I make it again. It definitely wasn't a family favorite. My family can usually eat a typical casserole by itself (no sides) and get full. However, this does not have enough meat in it to do such a thing. It has a different texture and taste. I would describe it as an undercooked quiche. At least one of kids didn't totally refuse to finish it. That child was able to pick the meat out and eat just that.

yes, it was vinegar, all you have to do is put a little vinegar&water in the kettle, let it come to a full boil, let sit a few mins. and rinse clean.

Can you help me?

Mom and Grandma used to boil up the tea/water kettle with a solution---

Was it "vinegar" ? to rid the kettle of calcium deposits? Please help if you can.
