My husband really loves this casserole and once I started doubling the liquid mixture, I loved it too. I like my casseroles creamier versus drier and I found that by doubling the liquid, it was the perfect consistency for a creamy casserole.

I liked this recipe after adding onion, garlic, celery, mushrooms and some added seasoning per the reviews I read. Peas would be nice for some folks who like peas. The base recipe is perfect

To make this a complete meal, we added frozen peas before baking. My husband can't eat spicy or heavily seasoned food, so the sour cream added just enough zip to make this recipe a winner in our home.

I agree with having to add more spice. But you definately have to add celery.

This recipe was really yummy. I had to double it to feed my crew but everyone really loved it. It is in our family cookbook now.

Thank you for sharing this recipe and your generous spirit in helping a friend who experienced tragedy. This is wonderful "comfort food"! Added a bit of poultry seasoning and used potato chips as the topping just because they were on hand. Other than that, it was perfect. Others evidently thought so too or it would not have deserved almost 5 stars!!

This recipe is tasteless and tastes like mayo with chicken. Thankfully, I tasted the "sauce" before using it or this would have gone in the trash on first bite. I'd list all the things I did to make this more enjoyable but it's basically a whole new recipe (thyme, garlic/onion powder, parsley, shredded cheese, roasted red peppers, other veg etc.) Skip this one. There are far better on TOH.

Yummy!! I just added onion and garlic but it is still very good without. Couldn't believe how good the buttered ritz cracker topping was. Next time i make my baked macaroni and cheese l will use the buttery cracker topping instead of my usual panko bread crumbs.

Ok, yes, it was slightly tweaked. I used both cans cream of chicken. Added some dried minced onion & chicken stock base (about 1 Tb of each) and a dash of ground sage. Sprinkled plain Panko on top. Cooked for 20, sprinkled shake cheese & some shredded mozzarella on top, baked for 10 more minutes. DELICIOUS!!! The only other place I cheated was I used chicken pulled from a rotisserie chicken, so that added to the flavor. This is now my go-to comfort food
