I had to make a few minor adjustments to this recipe. First, I've never seen a can of cream of celery soup that is 14 oz. so I made up the difference by doubling the sour cream to 1 cup. I also increased the hot sauce slightly to 1/3 cup, and rather than useing canned chicken, I cut three chicken breasts into cubes and sauteed them off with a little salt and pepper, and added that to the casserole. Other than that, and baking an extra 5 minutes, I followed the recipe as written the rest of the way. I love how it packs a good bit of heat without my mouth going numb, and I like how just a normal portion made me feel full for a long time. I served this with a simple garden salad with radishes, cucumbers, tomato, and a bleu cheese dressing and croutons, and it all went down very well. This is definitely a recipe worth making again, only change I may make next time would be to use either a very mild cheese or maybe something like pepper jack cheese with the peppers in it. All in all, it is a good recipe and worth making again.

I am originally from Florida, near Tampa. I attended undergrad at the University of Tampa, and grad school at Auburn University. When I got married I moved to Wyoming. Talk about culture and environment shock!!
I love animals, especially dogs. We try to get rescue dogs, particularly huskies. We currently have 2 huskies - one Siberian male and one Alaskan female. Huskies have so much personality!
I am a fan of the childrens books about Winnie the Pooh. I especially love TIGGER. Actually I love just about everything Disney. One of the things I miss most from living in Florida was getting to go to Walt Disney World anytime I wanted to. It really is one of the happiest places on earth.
I love to cook and am always trying a new recipe. I also like to garden, but find it quite a challenge here in Wyoming with our long winters and dry windy short summers. I like to experiment with herbs and spices.
During the summer of 2006 I was diagnosed with PCOS and as such realized that the excess weight I was carrying was quite literally killing me. I found SparkPeople.com and was able to lose over 75 pounds now with not too much more to go. My cooking has changed some since then in that I still cook the same foods I just go about it in a much healthier way. Taste is paramount to me - so if it doesn't taste good then why bother! :)
