Well as always, any Kittencal recipe is a winner and I will add this one to the list...SO GOOD!! I used Recipe #31811 for the sauce. Thanks so much for posting! -
Great casserole! I made this and my family loved it. I have been wanting to make this but my daughter has a gluten allergy so I normally avoid recipes that call for soups because most contain gluten. I found a gluten free substitute for cream soups so I substituted the can of cream of mushroom soup for a packet of "full flavor gluten free cream mix". It turned out wonderful! We had tortilla chips with the casserole and ate it like a dip. I will be back to search through more of your recipes, thanks! -
Holy cheeseballs! What a great supper! Made as written! Great the second time around too, as the heat really kicks up overnight. :) -

This was a fast and easy meal. I doubled the recipe and made it with beef and turkey meat. I also substituted cream of onion soup for the chicken. It was not much to look at but once topped with lettuce, tomato and avocado it was impressive. Thanks for a crowd pleaser!
