This a very useful recipe. I have to make meals that my Husband and sons can heat up in their warmer on the tractors and harvesters. I have added mushrooms and green peas or green beans to this so they get their vegies.

Best chicken casserole dish. It was made for a gathering after a memorial service; the people thoroughly enjoyed it, many of whom had seconds and thirds! Thank you!

This is one I have had for a long time. Our 3 boys always gave it a thumbs up and I have passed it on to their wives. The only change is that I use potato chips crushed on top instead of the corn flakes.

I got this recipe from a church cookbook years ago and have made it many, many times. It is always a huge hit and the recipe is usually requested.

I made this per the recipe, except for one substitution. I exchanged the mayonnaise for an equal amount of sour cream. It was very good, my husband loved it and said I could definitely make it again!
