I love making this casserole for other families when they're sick or having surgery because they can use it right away or save it for later. Kids love the cheesy flavor, and if they're picky I've even substituted corn for the peas with good success. I also used dry bread crumbs instead of the crackers because I didn't have any, and it turned out fine. Great recipe!
