Smilyn's Note:

This is from my mother-in-law. This makes a large amount; it can be halved. You can also use frozen crawfish tails, it saves time from peeling the tails.

I wanted to make something quick, yet flavorful, hearty and satisfing...this is the recipe. Everyone LOVED it and raved about it for days. I had people asking me for the recipe. I make this once a week. Sometimes I substitute the crawfish tails with chicken. Either way, it's super delicious, quick and cheap to make.

I've made several different versions of this recipe, but my husband said this was, by far, the best ever. I also made a slightly different version by adding cream of mushroom soup and fresh sliced mushrooms. It was fantastic!

My husband and I made this for my family's Christmas dinner last year and it was such a hit they've already requested we prepare it again this year.
