Submitted by WI Cheesehead

"My version using stuffing instead of bread crumbs or croutons and added vegetables. My family really liked it. If you use ham, reduce the salt."

I found it to be too dry, however I did make a few changes so that may be the problem! I used a can of cream of chicken soup, a full can of milk, a dollop of sour cream and added sliced, fresh mushrooms.

You can't go wrong with this! It's a cheesey comfort-food casserole that the whole family will love. I used the chicken, doubled the onions and used the optional almonds. The almonds were like the icing on the cake. I was thinking that rosemary would go nicely with the chicken version. I will make this again with chicken and ham together; that sounds so good. Thanx!

This was really good, however, it was a little rich for me. I didn't use as much chicken but used more broccoli (to get the family to eat vegetables). It's a nice comfort food for a chilly fall night. Thanks!
