Crock Pot Family Favorite Casserole

kzbhansen's Note:

I work nights and crock pot recipes are life savers. This one is often requested by my family. My family doesn't much care for peas so I increase my potatoes and carrots to equal 1 1/2 C to substitute. The cream of celery soup really makes this good. I have used cream of chicken or mushroom and my family makes comments.

This was pretty good. I left out the peas and carrots... I wish I would have put them in there, next time I will, though! This cooked in exactly 4 hours on high. My dad really liked it, my brother didn't care for it but he's pretty picky. I'll use this one again, thanx.

M. U. S. H That is exactly what this is. Don't waste your time or money with this stuff.<br/>It cooks down and all it is, is meat and mushy noodles. No flavor at all!<br/>Why can't people be HONEST with these reviews ? ? ?

Very good, made it a while ago without rating it and seeing it again makes my mouth water. TMI, but I think I'm going to make it again this week.
