*For Spring 2008 PAC* - it occured to me, while putting this together, that I had not prepared a casserole containing "cream of --" soups for a while. This proves the axiom that FAT TASTES GOOD !! Since there are just the 2 of us, I fixed 2 casseroles, to freeze the larger one for when family is here. I had all the ingredients, so prep was easy -- and the water chestnuts and slivered almonds provided a nice crunch. Glad that NI did not print when I took the recipe down. For once in a while Down Home Goodness, this can't be beat !! Thanks, Kathy!!.
