This is a classic comfort meal. I made some variations without changing the integrity of the recipe. I subbed tarragon as the herb because we like it. I used only peas as a veggie, and it came out great. The Kluski noodles are mandatory...... Regular egg noodles just don't cut it. Finally, I added a can of cream of chicken soup with herbs (new from Campbells) at the end. Then I mixed some softened butter with the breadcrumbs before topping the casserole. Yum from all!
