This was really good. My entire family enjoyed it to the point where i had to make it again 3 days later by request. I did make a few changes to accomodate our eating a low fat diet. I used a combonation of brocolli and cauliflower steamed. Omitted the butter and used butter flavored PAM to saute the onions and celery. Used reduced fat Velvetta a cut it from 8 oz to 6 oz. Also used 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup and topped the casserole with 4Tbs of crused cornflakes sprayed with butter spray instead of the cheddar cheese.
