If you are looking to step away from the canned mushroom soup base - this is one to try. With or without the cheddar - this is a winner! Going into my permanent rotation.

Very tasty and easy. I was out of cheddar, so went without. This is my comfort-food and it's even better as leftovers, reheated in the oven.

Very good. Everyone loved them. Very easy to put together.

My husband raved about these. They were worth the effort and 2 hours it took to cook them. Will definitely make again. Thank You!
