The original old family recipe for this casserole called for the sauce to be made from scratch. Through the years, I developed this version that takes less time to prepare and still tastes great. It's an attractive main dish.

Really great dish!!! However I excluded the pimiento-stuffed olives and used Ritz crackers instead

My family loved this with a few minor changes according to what I had on hand. I used green onions, (whites and greens), and cheese crackers instead of corn flakes. Everyone wanted the edges where the crackers were. I also used a family size can of soup (26 oz.) for a double recipe and it worked fine. This is going in my recipe file!

I found this to be a very tasty recipe which needed just a little tweeking. I thought the addition of the green olives was unique, so I doubled the amount. I also added black pepper and 1 tsp. of worcheshire sauce to overcome the blandness some reviewers mentioned. Cooking at 350 for 25 minutes indeed cooked it through until nice and bubbly. An enjoyable meal that I will make again.

This recipe was okay but not something that I would prefer. It was a little too bland and needs some spicing up.

This recipe is very tasty, I have made it a few times. It doesn't jump out as a favorite, but it is a go-to for its relative simplicity, and that I often have all the ingredients in house already.

This turned out to be very tasty. I did add a little sour cream and the noodle mixup had to be altered as well. Folks thought it is a keeper however. Why is there two different listings for noodles, I wonder?

Did you get an answer about the noodles being listed twis? If so, what was the reason?

Thank you,

why are the wide egg noodles listed twice?

Why are egg noodles list twice in the ingredients? A 8 oz. pkg and 5 cups???

I doubled this recipe, and took to a ladies luncheon in a disposable pan. They loved it, had no leftovers and no clean up. Very good taste. I will make this again, and again. I had ladies ask me for the recipe [which I gave]. Next time I will use a roasted chicken from the grocery store to cut down on the preparation time. Since I work I made everything except the noodles the night before. I heated the chicken mixture and cooked the noodles the next day than baking worked great.
