Nice creamy comfort food for a chilly day. This would be a good recipe for working moms. The night before you can take 10 minutes to prepare the meat and sauce ingredients, then when you get home from work the next day, toss it with the bread cubes, sprinkle on some extra cheese and place in the oven. Put your feet up for 40 minutes, have a cup of tea, maybe catch some Oprah or Dr. Phil, and voila, you have dinner! My daughter adored this and ate two large plates. The only change that I would make is to reduce the mayonnaise to 1/3 Cup but that is personal preference as I don't care for mayo too much. This is quite a budget friendly dinner as well. Made for Spring PAC. Thx for sharing your recipe, we loved it.

This was very good and easy to make. I also used Recipe 278160. Thanks for sharing!

This was very easy to make and came out pretty good. However I think next time I will put some of the bread pieces on top of the casserole instead of mixing it all in in order to give it some crunch. I'll let you know how that works out. Thanks!

This is a nice, comfort-food type casserole. I had some stale rye bread so I used that. I liked the flavor it gave the casserole. Also, through this recipe, I discovered your Recipe #278160 recipe! Thanx for two great recipes. I'll be using that cream soup recipe often...... for this and other recipes!
