This was very tasty and easy to make. I think that nest time I will double the topping ingredients since the topping was good but I felt just not enough. -
I tried this recipe because I had all of the ingredients on hand. The most interesting part of this casserole is the slightly tangy taste of the mayo/sour cream mixture. I added about a tsp of minced garlic and about 3/4 cup cheddar cheese. I then topped it with some more cheddar before taking it out of the oven. Even then, I think it could have used more flavor. Could have used a greater amount of "sauce," too. It's a great start to a comfort food. Just needs a little tweaking to add your own personal tastes. I didn't rate it because of the changes I made. Thanks for sharing.

I am a mom to 2 boys, ages 11 and 6. My youngest is a cancer survivor, so we enjoy each day given to us! You never know what can happen in your life! I have been in the loan business for over 10 years and I love it. Unfortunately, this economy has put a wrench into my awesome career. After a couple layoffs, I decided I need to do something else for awhile. I am now selling advertising, and it's different! I am thankful to have a job, so can't complain much! I love to cook. I can spend a whole Sunday in the kitchen just cooking away. I love trying new recipes (my boyfriend hates it. Lol. He likes what he likes and would be fine never trying anything new.) I never bake. I think it's because I don't measure. I am a throw-in-the-ingredients until they taste good kind of girl. I LOVE this site(actually, I am addicted to it) and am enjoying finding new things to make everyday!
