Just found our next "go to" casserole for my family. Even my two very picky eaters loved it and that's a real compliment because they are very hard to please. The Hidden Valley Ranch adds the most wonderful flavor to this unusal casserole. Loved the crunch of the water chestnuts and the hint of sweetness with the dried cranberries. Very easy to prepare.
