This saucy casserole allows you to enjoy all the rich flavor of traditional chicken cordon bleu with less effort. It's a snap to layer the ingredients and let them cook all afternoon. Just toss a salad to make this meal complete. —Dorothy Witmer Ephrata, Pennsylvania

I made this for dinner today and then realized I had to go out tonight; so I ate it before I left and told my wife to help herself when she got home. I loved it.

When I got home she raved about it and said she had *two* large bowls of it. Great recipe. However, it did take me longer than expected to prepare it...about 25 minutes.

All of the milk?

There are alot of steps, but it has good flavor. I do agree that you can either skip the milk or add very little.

Omit the milk, and it works out great!

The recipe sounded tasty, but it was very VERY wet as the previous commenter mentioned. Plus, for a crock pot meal, there were a lot of steps involved! I like to throw it together pretty quickly. The flavor of mine came out ok though, I used only 4 slices of bread, then 2-3 cups of peppridge farm stuffing. It was still way too moist.

I liked the idea of this recipe because I LOVE chicken cordon bleu and this was so simple to put together. But it was a disappointment. It was mushy with not a lot of flavor. Maybe try some salt & pepper to beat the blandness, but there would still be the mush....
