"This is a staple at our summer grill-outs. It's easy and can be prepared the day before, then baked when you need it. I use reduced fat cheddar cheese, light sour cream and 98% fat-free cream of chicken soup."

omitted the stick of butter in the mixture, didn't think it needed it... I used a 16 oz container of French onion chip dip instead of sour cream. Gave it an extra kick...

I add one more cup of corn flakes and I crush them in a one gallon ziplock bag using a rolling pin.

I *LOVE* this recipe. This is the same recipe my mom uses for family get-togethers. I made a smaller and gluten free version of this recipe for dinner (you can find it under my recipes if you are curious).

I made this but added bacon and used capecod potato chips instead of the cornflakes to add crunch and salt! It came out amazing!

Instead of cornflakes, I crushed up the dredges of a bag of plain potato chips and used those.

Eau Claire, 89

I live in Eau Claire, WI. I teach Kindergarten for the Eau Claire Area School District. I was recently married (7/22/06). I've never been much of a cook, but I've really enjoyed trying new recipes recommended by friends and now recipzaar. My husband is enjoying it too. :) As wedding gifts, we received many kitchen gadgets and cookware, I can't wait to try them all out. In my free time I love to read, run, and spend time with family and friends. I'm also addicted to reality TV, Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Houswives.
