This was a different type of flavor for a pasta casserole. I didn't think it was bland at all, just not the modern spicy type of flavor. I didn't have celery, so I substituted celery seed. I also had no mushrooms. We both liked it enough to have it again in the future.

Sorry Kitten, but we really didn't like this very much. All the ingredients are ones that we like but it just didn't work for us. I did follow the recipe as written except I added an extra can of mushroom soup because when I put it together I could tell one wouldn't have been enough. And it definately needs more flavor. Next time I think I will leave out the sauerkraut, add more spices and maybe put in some peas! It's a nice cassarole that you can change up a bit to suit your own tastes.

I enjoyed this very much, thought it needed some color and a few more spices, and will try again, doing so. Thanks KittenCal for another excellent recipe. If I find a recipe I want to use and it has your name on it I will certainly try it because I have yet to have one of your's fail.

Garlic optional? Surely, you jest! I found that 8 oz. (one package) of fresh mushrooms cut into quarters worked just as well as the canned (and was cheaper, too) True comfort food. Thanks for posting, Kitten

This recipe is DELICIOUS!! I am not fond of sauerkraut, but this was great. Cooking takes the sharp kraut taste out. I didn't use the celery either. MY DH loved it too. He is a meat and tater kinda guy, so it was good. We both are taking leftovers to work tomorrow. Thanks!!
