I've made this as written and it's very good. Tonight I diced celery and onions and browned in butter. I also added a little onion powder to the mixture and doubled the topping. It was very yummy.

Made this tonight for dinner, was really good. did add 1 1/2 cups Colby jack cheese, and 1 teaspoon onion powder. Hubby thought it was definitely a keeper.

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!!
