This was very good. The casserole is easy to put together but one that involves a bit of chopping/prepping. It is perfect for a weeknight meal. The color is very cream colored save for little bits of celery. I would love to add something colorful to give it a pop. The flavor is not heavily seasoned so adjust it if you find it requires more. The soup and chips are enough salt wise. We served it with a green salad with lots of veggies so that is how we got color in. Made as written. Thanks for posting 911spatcher! The family hads seconds and wanted thirds.
