Chicken Casserole
"This is a modification of a recipe I found online. I played with it a bit until I came up with something my family really enjoyed! The original was a sidedish, but with some chicken added, and fresh mushrooms, it makes a quick and delicious meal."

This recipe is very flexible, I've changed out the veggies called for and put the equivalent of frozen mixed vegetables and it still turns out great. I do add garlic or other spices because without it's a little bland but toss in whatever you like it's a very forgiving. I have also put it in a tin (from the family dollar store) and frozen it. To bake all you need to do is thaw it and bake as directed or I just put it in a cold oven and let it warm up with the oven although you do have to watch it because the timing is slightly different each time I bake it, depending on if I had it in the deep freeze or if I had it in my regular fridge/freezer. But it's very hard to mess up on this one! -
This is a great recipe! My husband went back for thirds. I made as written, except I added some celery. I didn't have bread crumbs, so I used crunchy onion topping instead. Very good addition! -
I will start with the legistics... I converted this recipe to US measurements so I rounded to the nearest pound or half pound. I also used brown rice and all natural cheddar. That being said, what a fantastic casserole! It was so beautiful on it's own that I omitted the bread crumbs completely. When my husband saw it he said, "Mmmmm, mushrooms..." then gobbled it up like I haven't seen him do in a long time. When my almost three year old saw it she said, "Mmmmmm, carrots..." then ate it so fast I couldn't believe it! I enjoyed it as well and really liked cubing the cheese instead of grating it. Thanks for a winning recipe!!

Well..about me! I'm married, I have 2 kids (both boys), and I live in Australia.
I have loved cooking for as long as I can remember, and have become completely addicted to browsing through Zaar looking for new recipes!
I have a small animal shelter for rabbits and guinea pigs, and spend most of my time looking after kids or critters!.
My favourite cookbooks are The Essential Pasta Cookbook, The Central Cookery Book, Flo Bjielkie-Peterson's Country Cookbook, and Greek Cooking (I bought that one in Greece, and it's FANTASTIC). At the minute, we are getting ready to move, which is forcing me to sort through my recipe cabinet. I have been trying out all those recipes that are scribbled on pieces of paper, or torn from magazines, so I can decide ifthey are keepers or not. So far I've found a lot of keepers, and will work at posting them on here.
I'm passionate about a lot of things, mainly my kids, animals, and cooking.
I won't even start on my peeves, we'll be here all night! lol
