I love to cook but just don't have much time. This casserole is both comforting and fast, which makes it my favorite kind of recipe. I serve it with a green salad. —Jena Coffey, Sunset Hills, Missouri

This was good, but not mind blowing great. I made the exact recipe as written. Next time I will add white wine and sour cream to the soup mix, add a saute of equal amounts of onion and celery, and some sage to the mix before baking. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but it can be improved. Season as you go and it will be fine.

I made some changes to the recipe. I did not have broccoli, so I left it out and had 1 1/2 of chicken. My stuffing was cornbread stuffing. It looked like it would be too dry, so I also added a can of cream of celery soup. EXCELLENT!

So good. I did add about 1/4 c of chicken broth so it wouldn’t be dry and put in 6 stocks of celery. My husband loved it so I will be making it again soon.

Delicious!! I made some substitutions because that's what I had to work with, but it turned out fantastic, so it is a very adaptable recipe. I used turkey (smoked) instead of chicken and frozen corn (thawed) in place of broccoli. I opted for cream of chicken soup as I think it adds a little more flavor than cream of mushroom. I had sliced Swiss cheese so I chopped up 3 slices and stirred that into the casserole and then laid slices on top for the remaining 5 minutes. I loved the crunch from the celery! I do love broccoli and often have it on hand. I'm sure it is wonderful with broccoli!! If you don't like Swiss cheese, I'm sure you could substitute what you do like, but the Swiss does add some flavor.

It was so easy and tasted great. My family does not like the taste of the boxed stuffing mix. It's too salty and overpowers the other ingredients. Which herbs and their amounts would you use if you used plan bread cubes?

I like adding chopped yellow squash to the mixture as it adds moisture and a tad more flavor.

To KittiiCatt: You can use the stuffing mix with the seasoning in it already. It just cuts out one step in the process. I like to use chicken flavored stuffing. I also use cream of chicken soup and add fresh sliced cremini mushrooms. A little bit of hot sauce like Chalula also adds flavor.
