I am also from Louisiana and this recipe is delicious! Of course, it is not "health food", but that was not claimed. I did add 1/4 cup fresh sliced mushrooms, 6 ounces of artificial crab meat and Tony's Creole seasoning rather than salt and pepper. I used the cream of shrimp soup rather than the cream of mushroom. I will definitely make it again, but I think I will use about half of the Velvetta cheese next time, just to make it a "little" less unhealthy!
