This recipe is similar to another one that I make. Take out the milk and add some chicken broth, sour cream, and a tsp. of Worchestershire Sauce. Top with seasoned breadcrumbs and shredded cheese and bake for about 45 minutes. My family loves it.

It's okay the way it is but I added some Cheese Whiz to ours & stirred it up & it came out so good. More flavorful IMO.

Also it made way more than I thought it would. I guess I'll be freezing the rest. Next time I'll half the recipe.

I have made this delicious dish several times. When my son comes home from college, this is one that I always make for him.
