This was fantastic. The sauce was so creamy and tasty. This dish reminded me of the version my mom made occasionally when I was growing up. It was a favorite dish of ours, and this version was just as yummy as ever. We all really enjoyed it, even our kids who are much pickier eaters than my husband or I. So it's nice to come across a delicious recipe that I know the kids will eat. Thank you for sharing your recipe, my kid's mom. Made for Spring2013 Pick-A-Chef.

Easy and really good weeknight meal with a salad. I also was looking for a divan recipe that didn't use canned soup. I didn't have cheddar so used swiss and that worked well. I also started with a bottom layer of stuffing before baking for an additional layer. Yum!

This was delicious and relatively quick to prepare. I don't like using canned soups and this divan recipe did that for me. I didn't have any sour cream and I substituted half mayo and half Greek yogurt. It was wonderful!!!
